I have done the method of ME quilting on projects, it is fine, as long as it is a small project, I wouldn't attempt to quilt a bed size with it. Way too many hoopings, lining up, etc. You could do it on you blocks and attach them with the "Cotton method" after the quilting is done. But again, way too much work! I like to FMQ, and the more one does the better you become. Practice on small backed and batted sample pieces, pretend you are tracing puzzle pieces for stippling. Don't try to do a specific pattern, just loops, circles, even question marks. You'd be surprised how good you really are!!!
