Has anyone ever used an embroidery design like this for quilting?

This has me intrigued. I like hand quilting but don't always have the time. I'm not skilled at FMQ. I wonder how this would work/look.
Thanks

This is what embroidery sewing machines do. I have a Janome and it can does this type of work beautifully. I have done whole quilts. A pain, I will add, because each design has to be hooped.
But yes, it is pretty easy to learn to do once you've got the machine on which to do it.
