This shows cross hatching and straight line quilting

This is a sample of echo quilting, you can echo around an object, or you can echo around/in a block. It is just stitching around a specific aspect of your quilt.

Notice the green triangles here are echo quilted.

A little tip I learned for keeping your lines straight is to use painters or masking tape! It works great and you sew with the needle right next to it or you can line your presser foot up with the edge depending on how wide you want your rows. Tape comes in MANY different sizes from itty bitty to HUGE!
Good luck deciding!

Cross hatching can be diagonal lines or squares either straight or on the diagonal or diamonds.
If you are going to do squares on the diagonal which is the most common, I suggest the following. I learned the hard way one time.
Mark every inch all around the quilt or block. then with long straight edge connect the dots from side to side.
Many instructions say to put tape down the center and keep moving the tape or use the guide on the ssewing machine.
what will happen by doing this is that your squares or other shapes will get out of alighnment by the time you get to the edges. Making dots every inch or or whatever measurement you want will make the grids more accurate.

This is a little quilt I have made several years ago for one of my classes in handquilting. It shows different quilting options for the Ohio Star block.
In the upper row the block in the middle shows a 1/2 " cross hatching pattern.
The plain block on the right shows echo quilting around a quilting pattern (true lovers knot).
Maybe that helps a little.
