I like the look of it!
Definitely look up Sashiko, see if that helps you out.
Good job!

I think it is beautiful. My husbands grandmother always used the big stitches. Her's were nice but not even like yours. I think she called it a utility stitch.

I am a hand quilter but never have even tried to do really tiny stitches, even but not tiny, simply because I like to see the stitches. Love your pillow.

My handquilting sorta comes out as big stitch, though not on purpose!
I get about 5 or 6 stitches to the inch, I am Not a fine stitcher.

But I really like the look of the actual Big Stitch quilting you show here, it's very distinctive and adds a lot of character.
I have some homespuns that this would go nice with, hmmm...
All the time new ideas.
How old can I live to be, eh??
