I really should try this method. Faintly Artistic I think your mug rug is pretty. Big, easy and quick are all appealing to me. I'm going to check out your Etsy store too for needles.
Genden- I like the crosses, something different and neat.

I "bury the knot" just like in small stitch quilting. Believe it or not, those fat knots will pop into the fabric though it might take a little extra care. When I do straight line quilting across a piece, I just make sure it is long enough to go from end to end and the tails get sewn into the binding. If the piece is big, I start in the middle and only stitch with half the thread, then turn it and stitch the other half. Saves tangling and wear and tear on the thread.

Let's put it this way - almost...no, not almost...ALL my hand quilting is "big stitch". Never been able to master the 10 to 12 stitches per inch. I do whatever suits my fancy - straight lines, echo, meandering or following a drawn on pattern. It's the only way I roll.
