    Crosshatching

    I am in the process of fmq a quilt made up of blocks that each have a 'frame.'

    I decided to crosshatch in the middle of each frame, and found this diagram showing how to crosshatch with no stopping, doing it all continuously:

    (just thought someone here might find it helpful too)
    You know that feeling when you've finished all your quilting projects and your studio is perfectly clean???? Me neither.

    It's not how fast you sew, it's how well you sew fast! Wait, I think that's supposed to be MOW!

    Yes, I agree, interesting technique. Thanks for posting. I LOVE crosshatching. So traditional.

    Thanks for posting, it makes sense once I read it but I had never thought of it being so simple.

    I do something similar for all my quilting, not just crosshatching. I even use a Frixion pen to place arrows on a pattern where I think it will help me keep on a path for the longest continuous stitching line.

    I like small crosshatch much more then lots of swirls and feathers.
    I love my life!
