Question How far apart should hand quilting lines be?

I’m a beginner hand quilter and started quilting my first appliqué quilt. I’ve done one round of echoing around the shapes about 1/8” away and started the 2nd round about 1/4” from that one.

I’m now wondering if that’s too close together because I read somewhere that the lines shouldn’t be closer than 1/2” apart.
The appliqué shapes are quite small. The pattern I used is “Euphoria Tapestry Quilts” by Deborah Kemball.
