Can someone explain to me what lattice is as apposed to sashing please?
Many thanks!
Gal

dunno ... but I don't think my Clematis would fare well growing on a quilt. Would love to hear what trellis is in Quilting Lexicon. A flower embroidered sashing perhaps?

Sorry DogHouseMom, I mean lattice not trellis!! In my book though they could mean the same thing but I am still learning all the quilting terms etc!

hi, gloryquilts.com has a pattern for a quilt called Lattice.peewee

sashings are sometimes called lattice. so many people around the world, we get different names for different things.

the lattice quilts i have seen were made so the 'sashing-strips' were a diagonal set...like lattice...sashing strips are usually vertical-horizontal...lattice is diagonal...just another frame :thumbup:

If you do a google search, or look in your quilt books, it's one & the same, go figure! I know, cause awhile back I was looking for a lattice design & that's all the info I found.....

I view lattice more as a background quilting design than the actual pieced part of a quilt. However, I made a small quilt of squares surrounded with sashing in different colors that were pieced to appear woven in and out.

Here is a picture

Ahh, I am with you, I have a much better handle on this concept now, thank you all very much I new you would put me right!!

Thanks for the pic DonnaJean, that quilt is beautiful, I think I am going to give this a try as I can see it really showing off the blocks to their best advantage. I love how the members of this board can sort everything out with regard quilting queries, my quilt will look ten times better because of it! Thanks again!

I never thought there was a difference!

I learn something new every time I go on QB!

you said Lattice ... TWICE ... and somehow my brain transferred lattice to trellis. My trellis' are lattice ... and my lattice's are trellis :) Of course they're all in the garden :)

Ha ha DogHouseMom, I did have trellis to begin with, then I changed it to lattice!! You weren't seeing things! It was me!
