Georgene Posted February 9, 2011 Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 This is a quilt an expectant mother made for her baby to be born in a few months. The nursery will be a garden and nature theme. I thought lattice work would look good for some of the background, so I thought about it as I was lying awake in bed last night, and it came to me how I could do it. I determined I could use my Circle Lord Crosshatch Pushbutton thingy. So I stitched every other diagonal line going one way, then I advanced the quilt the width of my hopping foot (1/4") and did the same lines again. Next, I stitched the lines (every other one) going the opposite way and did the same, advanced the quilt 1/4" and stitched again. And this is the result. I see one drag thread I hadn't clipped before I took this picture. I'm just so pleased that I figured it out. I've never done lattice crosshatch before. P.S. To find every other line with the Push Button, I would raise the stylus with the button, then lower and drag it to the next line, then raise it again and lower and drag to the second line, which I would stitch. You can hear the stylus click as it drops in a slot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgene Posted February 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 The quilt is not quite finished yet, I had to leave space in the middle of the circle to stitch the baby's date of birth, once we know it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Janette Posted February 9, 2011 Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 Hi Georgene, Your quilting looks great and I like the sound of this pushbutton to lift the stylus. I could do with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustSewSimple Posted February 9, 2011 Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 Georgene, Your quilting is beautiful! Please, please keep posting so I can keep pushing myself to get better. BTW, what a stroke of genius to figure out that double cross-hatch! That makes a wonderful background and could be used in lots of backgrounds!!!!! Good job!
