I can cross hatch a quilt in no time. I bought the Stanley six foot and four foot straight edge from Lowe's. They are exactly 2 1/2'' wide. I can mark the lines easy and straight using those. I start in the middle of the quilt and stitch out, flip and start in the middle out again. Turn the quilt and do it the opposite way. It's a little boring but it's easy and looks great for the majority of my pieced quilts.
Oh forgot to say it's very important to start marking from the middle, corner to corner then mark out to the edge. I mark diagonal.
