I agree---free open patterns like this are always good. They look great on all kinds of quilts.
I have recently finished a friendship braid quilt, well just about done-handstitching the binding a bit every evening in bed--and I did echo quilting. I LOVE the look of it. Lots of starting and stopping and threads to bury, but so very worth it, in my opinion. I will be using this method again for sure. I also like the diagonal stitching, spaced out so they are X's and want to try out smaller spacing so they are more like diamonds. For Ace's quilt I did 1/4 inch on both sides of all major seams (for the most part). I tried it on all seams, but it made the quilt stiff so I took out some of the quilting.
