Diagonal. But I'm getting partial to varigated thread. It might add a subtle zip.

I agree. That runner just says crosshatch to me.

I love crosshatching. And it's fairly easy to do.

I might use a variegated blue thread, sometimes you can find threads with both blue and pink, but I personally like using variegated thread, gives it a little pizzaz. I would simply do a cross hatch pattern going corner to corner in two directions so there remains an "X" in the middle of each square. Love your fabrics and colors.
