About the Cross Hatch Pattern
The Cross Hatch quilt pattern transforms basic strip sets into an intricate-looking geometric design that measures 56-1/2" x 68" when complete. Perfect for showcasing a variety of coordinating fabrics, this pattern uses the efficient strip piecing method where you sew fabric strips together, cut them into sections, and add corner triangles to create blocks that form a beautiful diagonal lattice when assembled.
This beginner-rated pattern is ideal for quilters who want to practice fundamental techniques like strip piecing, accurate cutting, and diagonal seaming while creating a quilt that appears much more complex than the actual construction process. The design works beautifully with jelly rolls or coordinating fat quarters, making it perfect for using precut fabrics or showcasing a favorite fabric collection.
The pattern features the Cross Hatch collection from Robert Kaufman Fabrics, specifically highlighting the Floral Wave print, but can be adapted to work with any coordinating fabric collection. The diagonal setting creates wonderful movement and visual interest, while the navy corner squares provide grounding points that help define the crosshatch pattern.
