I'm excited today because I've got a favorite baby quilt tutorial, perfect for 5" charm squares and showing-off cute fabric. It's also a skill-builder quilt, so if you're a new quilter, this will help you build your skills for piecing a quilt on the diagonal. If you are brand-new to quilting, I highly recommend you check out my Beginning Quilting series for all the basics on supplies, cutting fabric, piecing, and quilting!
Second, since this quilt is so perfect for showing-off beautiful fabric prints and colors, I'm using Lindsay Wilkes' first fabric collection, Dainty Darling for Riley Blake Fabrics. (Post update - these prints are now mostly out of print but you may still be able to find some online on Etsy. Or Google Dainty Darling Riley Blake.)
These cheerful, vintage-inspired prints are so pretty - I was really excited to create something fun with them.
This lattice baby quilt is inspired by one of my most popular patterns - my large Lattice Quilt. It's such a great one for showing-off lots of busy prints because the sashing breaks them up and lets each one pop. Many people over the years have asked for a baby version of that lattice quilt pattern, but the scale of those blocks is too large for a small quilt. So I've reduced the scale of the blocks - making it Charm Square (5" x 5") friendly. I wrote this lattice baby quilt pattern quite a while ago, but decided it was time for an update.
Lattice Baby Quilt Tutorial
If you would prefer Printable PDF version of this lattice baby quilt pattern you can find one available here for $2.00.
This quilt finishes at 41" x 49"
Fabric Requirements for your Lattice Baby Quilt Tutorial:
50 5" x 5" print squares
1 ¼ yards sashing fabric
2½ yards backing fabric
⅜ yard binding
Cutting fabric for your Lattice Baby Quilt Tutorial:
From (white) Sashing Fabric cut:
2 strips 5″ x wof (width of fabric)
1 strip 7 ¾” x wof
10 strips 1 ½” x wof - these will be pieced together for long sashing strips
5 strips 2" x wof for borders
From Binding Fabric cut:
5 strips 2 ½” x wof (or 190″ of continuous bias binding)
From one of the 5″ x wof strips, cut 2 squares 4 ¼" x 4 ¼" . Cut each square once on the diagonal. You will have 4 corner-setting triangles.
From remaining 5″ strips cut 40 pieces 1½” x 5".
Subcut 7 ¾” strip into 5 squares 7 ¾” x 7 ¾”. Cut squares twice – once on each diagonal to get 4 triangles per square, for a total of 20 triangles (you will only need 18) – reserve for side setting triangles.
(Post update: side setting squares were originally 7 ½" x 7 ½" - I've made the decision to make them bigger so that points of squares don't get cut off when squaring off sides before adding final border.)
Assembling your Lattice Baby Quilt
Remember, all seam allowances are ¼" for piecing quilts. (If you are looking for a step by step guide to making quilts, check out this series of Beginning Quilting tutorials.)
Using the 50 5″ x 5" squares, layout the squares on point starting with 5 squares across and 6 squares down (use diagram as guide) until you get a design and balance of colors and prints that you like.
Because the blocks in this lattice baby quilt are laid out "on point", we will sew the rows together in diagonal lines. This requires a slightly different way of thinking about how your rows come together, but it's not scary. Piecing quilt blocks on point can give your quit a dynamic look. So let's see how it works!
Start assembling rows diagonally with a side-setting triangle at the beginning and end of each row. Row 1 will have only 1 square between the side-setting triangles and a corner-setting triangle at the top. (See photo above for layout.) Press seams toward the print squares.
Rows 2-9 will have a 5″ x 1½” sashing strip between the squares.
Sew a corner-setting triangle at the end of row 5 and at the beginning of row 6.
Side Setting Triangles: Sew the right (90 degree) angle to the end of your row. Frequently asked question: The edge of my triangle is longer than the 5" x 5" square - where do I match it up? Answer: line up the bottom edge of the triangle with the bottom edge of your square. The top tip of the triangle will protrude past the top edge of the square. You will square this off later.
Notice that that triangles rotate directions depending on where they lie on your specific row.
Corner Setting Triangles: center the long edge of these four triangles and sew to the end of the square in the four corners. We will square-off the edges off later.
Once all 10 rows are pieced, take the 10 1½” x wof sashing strips and trim or sew strips together to get a generous length to sew in between the pieced rows. Begin to assemble pieced rows with a sashing strip in between. Leave about 2″ of strip at the end of each row. (Again, we will square-off the sides after all the rows are pieced.)
When sewing the rows together, in order to make sure the side-sashing strips match up (and to help keep the quilt 'square'), place the row with the long-sashing strip sewn to it on the bottom with the row to be attached right-sides together. Fold back the top row and make sure the seams of the sashing segments are lined up.
Carefully fold the top row back so that they are right-sides together and pin the two rows together to hold them in the correct place for sewing.
Once all of the rows are pieced together, press seams toward the sashing strips. Square-off corner-setting triangles using the quilt’s sides as your guide.
Use the lines on your ruler to keep the corners square. (See 10" line in this picture.)
Lattice Baby Quilt Borders:
It's easy for quilts pieced together in diagonal rows to get a little wonky. Adding the final borders will help keep you quilt 'square' and not have wavy edges. This is my favorite method for adding borders.
(You will need to piece borders for the long sides.)
Trim the selvage edges off your 2" x wof border strips. Stack 2 strips on top of each other and line them up down the center of the quilt. Use a pin to measure the edge of the quilt. Trim with a rotary cutter.
Fold border strip in half and mark with a crease. Carefully pin borders to the edges of the quilt, starting by matching up the center of the border strip with the center of the strip, and then at the two ends.
Carefully pin the border strip to the edges of the quilt, evenly spacing the pins.
Sew strips in place. Press seams to the outside border. Repeat with remaining sides of the quilt. (See this Quilt Borders 101 post for more photos and process details, if needed.)
Quilt using your favorite method (or quilter.) My friend Melissa of Sew Shabby Quilting quilted this one for me.
Binding your Lattice Baby Quilt:
Sew 5 binding strips together end to end. I use this binding method for finishing this quilt.
And there you have it! The step-by-step process for a simple lattice baby quilt, that is perfect for using up charm-squares or showing off your favorite fabrics.
If you don't have the need for a baby quilt in the immediate future, pin this image to save it for future reference. Hopefully it's also a good reference for sewing a quilt together on point.
A Printable PDF version of this lattice baby quilt pattern is available here for $2.00.
Frequently Asked Question: Is this lattice baby quilt available in a Twin (or other size)?
Answer: At this time, no. I haven't had the time to resize and construct a larger version of this quilt. But I do have a larger version of a similar Lattice Quilt pattern available here.
And, honestly, I'd rather make a larger quilt with larger-scale blocks in that pattern as the quilt will come together much faster and easier.
Adana
This tutorial is perfect timing! I'm just about to start my first on point quilt and wasn't sure the best way to do the setting triangles. Thank you! What a sweet and simple quilt pattern, I love it and will be making it soon.

odette osantowski
Loved your pattern. I needed a baby quilt fast and this went together quickly. The finished size is 41 X 49. Please change your pattern. I double checked using the EQ7 program and it was 41 X 49 and so i had to buy more flannel backing because it didn't fit.
Amy
You are right! I put in the measurements with out the border. Doh - so sorry about that! Thanks for pointing that out so I could fix it. xo
Ella R.
I finally made mine❤️ I didn’t even measure my borders. I just lay flat my strips of fabric next to the quilt and cut as needed. All wonkiness gone🤭 I’ll proudly post my little quilt but I don’t see anything I can attach it to here? Anyway, just to say I bought the pattern because I don’t want to lose it if the free link disappears. I’ll be making this pattern again and again. Thanks Amy!
Belinda
HI, I think the photo of the quilt all laid out is missing a strip of white sashing between rows 1 and 2.
Amy
Yes - that's an error. Add the strip in that spot when piecing. 🙂
Michael

Adorable! We are expecting our 6th in September, and I can see using up my stash with this pattern. I would love to learn how to piece quilt backings to keep them functional and yet not distract (or ruin) the feel of the front of the quilt. It seems some quilters have a knack for knowing how to piece a back and have it look good!

Thank you, Amy!! I love on point quilt patterns, but always seem to get 'lost' in putting them together and so avoid them, if possible. Your tutorial has been wonderful. I am going to bookmark it so that I find it quickly whenever I need it. Love this lattice quilt - it is beautiful. I would love to learn one free-motion design to quilt my quilts to finish them off nicely!
Jaime
I'd love to get better at machine quilting at the end of the process!
Martha cook
thank you for sharing the pattern and the free motion design as well. 🙂 so generous of you. I guess for me is learning how to tackle a free motion design on a big quilt. I've done it but it seems a bit daunting.
Bethany Paterson
Wonderful tutorial! All the pictures make the design so much easier to understand! I would like to learn how to machine applique better 🙂
Pam Johnson
Thank you sooooo much for this excellent tutorial! I'm working on my 2nd quilt (I'm learning how to sew and piece quilts by watching YouTube videos). The quilt is for my 9yr old son and it is an on point quilt from another pattern maker. The directions were very confusing and your tutorial REALLY clears up a lot of questions that I had.
I would like to learn EVERYTHING- but I'll start with hexies! ?
Susan Smith
I've only made two on point quilts and I wasn't thrilled with how they came together. I'd love to get better at that! Thanks for the chance to win these darling fabrics!

Years ago I made the "adult" size version of your lattice quilt for my first granddaughter for high school graduation. She's getting married in June. Maybe the baby version will be for my first great grand child! Thanks for this great tutorial.
Leslie K.
I have never made an on point quilt but would love to do so. This would also be a good quilt to practice more machine quilting!

I really love this pattern, so cute. I have never made a diagonal patterned quilt before, I may have to try this one!

Rachel S
Very nice tutorial and appreciate your share! I want to get better about machine quilting. Right now i go to linear but want to get confident about free motion....have a domestic that works great!
Terry P.
This is the first time that I have been introduced to your tutorials. The Lattice Baby Quilt is a perfect baby quilt to make for our quilting guild, who sponsors quilts for newborns at a hospital. Thank you for the informative instructions on this tutorial. I would be interested on additional tutorials using precut fabrics.
Lori Baker
I would love to be able to fmq better
Helen Scott
Thank you so very much for this incredible tutorial/pattern! I've never done a quilt before and my daughter just found out #4 is on the way!

Jan
Very pretty quilt! I'd like to learn how to make a scalloped or curve-y border - something requiring biased binding.
Calli
What delicious colors! I am going to try your tip for measuring my borders....maybe it will lessen my wavy quilt edges! I would like to try my hand at hand quilting or at least adding big stitch details to my sewing projects.
Sharon
I've long admired your lattice quilt pattern and this smaller version is adorable. Thank you for the tutorial and the opportunity to add the sweet "Dainty Darling" to my project list.

Christine Chamberlain
I'm learning how to long arm quilt and I really want to learn how to quilt gorgeous feathers! Your quilt is SO pretty and I am a baby lover so of course I have to make it! Thanks for the instructions.
Donna
I have never been a fan of grid quilts, but put them on point and I love them! Starting on this pattern today! I would love to see a future tutorial on appliqué as it relates to the final quilting. If possible, could you give us (I see that other people are interested) information about the wallpaper in the photo shoot? Thanks for such a well done tutorial.
Jennifer Hadley
FMQ is a skill I am lacking! A pot holder turns out great, but a full sized quilt is not looking so good 🙁 Thanks for your tutorial! I have a project I want to do and I think this might just be the pattern.

Amy, this baby quilt is adorable and I love the prints. I even like the wallpaper! Maybe I can turn that into some applique. Judy in Newport News
Alice Collins
I'm getting ready to tackle FMQ on a small scale. Nothing too big. Something like a baby quilt, for example...
Christy Johnson
I love this! I saw it and immediately put it on my list to work on this week. I always have more than 2 quilts going at the same time. I've never made a Dresden quilt so I'd really like to learn that as well as curved piecing. A double wedding ring quilt has been my goal since I started quilting. I'd like to make it the old school way.
Crystal L. Cochren
Great pattern! I would like to learn how to attach wide binding (wider than a 2 1/2" strip) to the quilt so that the cornerstone look God.
Clara
Learning to hand applique would be a new skill to master. I need a project that can be quietly done while keeping my husband company during the upcoming baseball season. He is an avid game watcher and stitching by his side helps with conversation. Love the baby quilt idea! Thank you for the tutorial, Amy. [email protected]
Debbie
I've been looking for a darling baby quilt for a new granddaughter coming in July. Thanks for this tutorial and a chance to win the sweet charm squares. I need more practice with quilts on point and with curved piecing.

Hello! I would be interested to learn more about the Y seams you talk about. Pretty quilt:-) And, yes, that wallpaper is equally as pretty!

Jamie
What a great fast baby quilt pattern! I am definitely using this tutorial for the next baby gift I need to make! I'd like to know how to make quilting take precedence over laundry, cooking, and cleaning. Please tell me your secret. I promise I won't tell anyone else!
dondim
I might need this for a new granddaughter. I already have a boy quilt but then again, this would look great with light blue sashing and the right mix of colors...I think I am longing for sky blue right now after all this rain. Yet, I am very grateful for all this precious water. Don't want you thinking I am complaining.
Joolz
I'd really just love to get learning applique in a proper way -- needle turn. I can do the others, but this one has eluded me... or more correctly, I have alluded it!

I have a new grandchild on the way. I may have to make one up in both boyish and girly fabrics, since we don't know which they're having. ?

I'd really love to master square quilt and binding. I know, that is two skills, but I think if I master the first, the second will take care of itself. I appreciate the reminder of how to bind the quilt, how to make the borders the correct length, and how to make something beautiful yet simple.

All the shirts are plaid...so I think the sashing will help the quilt not look like a big old mess!! 🙂 Thanks for the tutorial!!!

Belinda
I would like to learn paper piecing. This is a beautiful bundle!
Karen
This is a great timely tutorial. My first quilt was a pinwheel I made after my first class. Boy did I learn all about pinwheels! I'd to learn about hexies. I saw a great quilt using what I thought were 1.5" only to find out it was for a 6" hexie. You can't really find those so much. Are they difficult to cut or sew with? What's all the buzz about hexies? They remind me of my grandmothers squares she used to crochet up.
Sarah Cureton
So pretty. Excellent tutorial. Thanks for sharing.
Donna
I love this quilt! I would like to learn how to make pieced curves.

This is such a pretty quilt and an awesome tutorial! Thanks so much for the tutorial and giveaway. I love the Dainty Darlings fabric! I'm still pretty new to quilting so I have a lot to learn but accuracy is a big one for me right now...everything I make turns out small, even though I check my seam allowance regularly. I'm always searching for more fabric cutting and pressing tips--I think maybe that's an area where I could use some improvement!

Andrea Strathman
Ack! I'm cutting right now and am WAY short on fabric for the sashing. Is my math wrong or is there an error? I've got the 5", 7.75" and 1.5" pieces, but only 3" of fabric left. I think I've got more Kona Snow lying around, otherwise it's another trip to the fabric store for me!
Amy Smart
Oh my gosh. You are right! Huge apologies! I somehow didn't add the border pieces into the total amount of sashing fabric. Thank you so much for pointing that out! (You are the first!) The post has been updated. So sorry about that.
Suzy Kom
What a wonderful tutorial. I literally just finished a nearly identical quilt called the same thing using a tutorial on Craft Bud. Though the row count yielded a slightly different layout, it was fun and easy to make.
Mary-Ellen betson
I love this quilt. Just made a precious baby girl one. I had two of the side setting triangles left over. I believe you will only need 18 instead of the 20 cut. Just mentioning this in case any newbies, like myself, are confused by the two extra triangles
Amy Smart
Great to point out for newbies - thanks Mary-Ellen! I'm going to add that to the tutorial right now. Thank you!
Sarah
I would like to purchase the PDF but when I click on it, it doesn't work.
Sarah
Nevermind...it was locked. I got it. Thanks
Renee Champagne
I loved the baby quilt so much that I decided to takle it for my niece's first baby.....hope you didn't mind I used the same quilt material......I have finished it and it is on its way to the quilters now....not a hard one to make but I had to use the ripper a couple of times...talking while on phone was not good...thank you so much for great instructions and the follow along with the pictures sure was a lot of help.....only second one I have made the first one I cut my granddaughters baby
clothes into blocks and sewed them together she is only three but I wanted her to have something from me and she even helped me sew some of the blocks together....thanks again
Amy Smart
Aww, that sounds so wonderful. I'm so glad you enjoyed the pattern!
Irene Barclay
I made the top, but the backing fabric says, 1 1/2 yd. not amount fabric for the quilt, I had to out buy for fabric. I think the amount should be about 3 yds.
Liz B
Thank you so much for generously sharing this beautiful pattern, I have just completed the quilt top in a day from start to finish and that included cutting most of the 5 inch squares as I used scaps from my stash. It has made a lovely baby quilt for my friend's granddaughter, I used mainly pinks and greens, just have to quilt it now but as its a small quilt it should be manageable. My niece is expecting later in the year so maybe there will be another one being made very soon. I can see its going to be a very useful and much loved pattern, thank you again.
Patti McGarry
Great pattern, Amy! Thanks for sharing. I'd like to make this pattern larger so I can gift it to a friend. Is there a formula to use on an on-point quilt that allows you to calculate size?
Amy
Hmm, I don't know of any formula. I use EQ7 for drafting my on-point quilts. Robert Kaufman has a Quilting Calculator APP that is really helpful too.
LINDA
AMY, this is so pretty! Know I will use it over and over for Charity Quilting! Thank You!
Laurie T
Love this! Would like to print it off but when I tried it said there were 57 pages! And it includes all of the advertising. Is there an easy way to print only the pattern and instructions? It's a sweet quilt! Thank you.
Amy
Yes! I have a printable 5-page PDF version here for $2.00: https://diaryofaquiltershop.com/products/baby-lattice-quilt-pdf
Patrice Adamson
Amy, I made your lattice quilt but had some trouble. Because there isn't a specific length for each of the binding strips , the quilt came out wonky. I still need to make a second one (twin granddaughters coming soon) so I will need to do some calculating for the next quilt. Hoping it will be easier this time.
Otherwise, it was adorable!
Cindy
Amy, I love this quilt. I’m new to quilting and when I saw this I knew it was the one I wanted to start with. I love the fabric you used and was able to find it. I just finished it. Thank you for sharing how to make it!
Kelly Vriezen
Cindy,
I have been searching high and low for the Dainty Darlings charm pack and it seems to be out of production. Can you please share where you found it?! I have a great-niece arriving in October and would like to make this quilt for her. Thanks!
Kelly
Has anyone else had trouble with the middle sashing pieces being too short when cut WOF x 1 1/2"? Typical fabric is usually 44 - 45" wide. ( I used Kona Cotton). My middle three sashing strips are short by several inches, needing a strip measuring closer to 62". I think the pattern should include clarification that those pieces may need to be pieced.
Hope
I am having the same trouble. As a beginner, I would have appreciated a heads up in the tutorial. I thought I did something wrong. Glad I'm not alone!
Amy
So sorry for the confusion, I do mention sewing the strips so that they're a generous length, but I can see how that would be easy to miss. I'll edit the post to clarify that point a little more. Thanks for pointing it out.
Kirby
How many squares would I need to make a twin xl quilt? Can you help me with the calcupations?
Kirby
*Calculation
Amy
I'm so sorry - I wish I could, but I just don't have the time to make custom recalculations for individuals. I do have suggestion for you on this one though: If you're making a Twin size quilt, I have a larger scaled Lattice Quilt pattern that I would recommend for a larger-scaled quilt. It will still have the same feel, but will saves tons of time cutting and sewing lots of smaller squares and seams. You can find the quilt pattern here: https://diaryofaquiltershop.com/products/lattice-quilt-pdf-version
Phyllis Loomis
I truly enjoyed making this quilt for my new granddaughter. The instructions were so well written. It turned out great and my daughter also loves it for baby #6, Hazel Joy!

I'm so glad! And way to go!
Dot.
Please post the size of the pieces once they are cut and ready to be pieced into the blocks. I want to use accuquilt dies.
Amy
HI Dot! All of the cutting sizes are in the post. Look under the CUTTING header (it's a long post, so there's a lot to read through, but they're there.)
Leisa
thanks for this great tutorial on the charming quilt.
Cathy
I am so thankful for this very detailed, perfectly beautiful, and simply easy baby quilt pattern. Several of us make quilts for our local hospital and Sav-A-Life. People give us the scraps from their quilts and we make this quilt over and over because it works with scraps as well as a fabric line, and it makes up so quickly. So thank you for placing this tutorial on line. We cut out sashing in "bundles" and the five inch squares the same way. Then we just go with it. So bless you and the sweet mothers and babies who are warmed by these quilts.

I love the pattern and my quilt was adorable, but should the border pieces be cut the length of the fabric (54”) and not the width? My strips were not long enough to make the border without piecing. (And I could not find more fabric). Fabric widths vary slightly, and it was not specified that dashing fabric width must be at least 45 after salvage is trimmed? Not sure if I did something wrong, but the yardage for sashing would be plenty if cut lengthwise? Thanks!

I love this baby lattice quilt pattern and am wondering what sort of batting you used. Thank you.
Amy
I used a white Warm and Natural 80/20 Cotton/Poly blend.
I've got a post about the different kinds of quilting batting and their purposes here: https://www.diaryofaquilter.com/2010/10/little-bit-batty.html

I just finished a top in your pattern with 1930’s prints and am so happy with it. Thank you.
Sylvia
Thank you so much for this tutorial.I wonder If you could help me...I would like to make it with 4 inch squares , could you please help me calculate the size of the white stripes and triangles I will need?
Amy
I'm so sorry, my time is so limited, I'm not able to fill any quilt resizing requests.
Sarah
Instead of using your patterns for bigger quilts using bigger squares, I used this one and scaled up to 93 squares for a twin. (Using baby clothes so I needed tiny squares). Very easy to follow and came together beautifully.
Amy
Awesome!

So did you correct the amount of backing fabric actually needed in the instructions? I'm just to the point where I am doing the backing and discovered I do not have enough. Your instructions say 2 and 1/2 yds but it is not enough-so now I have to figure out if I can piece it with something else or go buy more-very frustrating!
Amy
Yes - 2 1/2 yards is the updated amount. Hmm, that yardage is very generous - in fact you should have lots of fabric left over. You do need to piece the back with this yardage. Cut the yardage into 2 equal pieces 1 1/4 yards (45") long. Trim the selvage edge of the sides and sew the pieces together along the trimmed edge. This will give you a back that is roughly 45" x 80". Trim the length of the pieced portion to 45" x 57".
I'm so sorry for your frustration. I hope this explanation helps!

Hi Amy, a beautiful quilt which I pinned a while ago. Been waiting for spare time (ha!) to start it. The UK being on lockdown now, I do finally have that time. Cut my squares tonight. Revving up Old Faithful tomorrow. I believe in grasping opportunities - thank you so much for sharing this and creating something so gorgeous and inspiring. Hoping you and all your followers/readers are in good health.

Thank you so much for this tutorial. I just finished a quilt for my granddaughter. It’s perfect!
Dorsi Cupp
Thank you for your tutorial! I just started quilting this year and used this pattern to make my second quilt!
Amy
Hooray! Way to go!
Alaina
Hi Amy! I love the look of this! Have you ever made this quilt with the positive and negative values reversed? I’m looking for a pattern I can use with neutral tone squares that will have blessings written on them from a baby shower. I’m wondering if your pattern will work with the colored fabric as the sashing. Thanks so much!
Amy
Yes! I've seen versions with darker sashing and light blocks and they were beautiful! I say, go for it!

I recently made the lattice baby quilt. It was really not hard at all, even for a novice like me. I wish I could share pictures here of how it turned out. Thank you, Amy for making me look good.
Lisa Smith
Hey, so I am just wondering what the finish quilt size will be with the boarders?? Thanks
Amy
Hi Lisa - it's 41" x 49"

Help! I have tried to do free motion design and it always ends up looking really ugly -- is there an easy to do quilting design that best matches what you did on this beautiful baby quilt? Thank you!
Margaret
Hi! Did you use invisible thread for the quilting? Or is it white? Thanks!
Amy
Great question. It is white.
Wendy compton
Thank you so much for this cute pattern. I love how mine turned out.
Amy
You're welcome. 🙂 I'm so glad!
Irene Carr
Perfect directions for the lattice quilt I need to complete!! Thank you so much!!
Elizabeth Hendricks
I have made your lattice baby quilt twice. The first one turned out perfect however the second one turned out more of a parallelogram. Lol what did I do wrong?
Cheryl Saunderson
I have had this quilt pinned for a very long time and now my daughter has requested it with Tasha Noel Christmas fabric. She likes the smaller squares as opposed to the larger ones in your other pattern so I will just make it larger. One thing I noticed is that some of your points are cut off so do you think the squares for the triangles should be cut larger? I am going to make them larger as they need to be trimmed anyway. Love the simplicity of this quilt to show off pretty fabric and I love on point quilts. Thank you!
Gwe Mangelson
Amy do you have this pattern for layer cakes too? I cant wait to sew up my charm squares using your pdf!
Amy
Yes! I do have a version that is perfect for Layer Cakes. You can find it in my shop: https://diaryofaquiltershop.com/search?q=Lattice

The first couple of layout pictures don't show the sashing strip between row 1 and row 2. I'm a new quilter and kept looking at what is wrong here.
Amy
Right - it's a mistake in the photo. Sorry about that. 😅 Imagine there's a strip there.
Donna Smith
Thank you so much for this wonderful tutorial. I just finished the Lattice Quilt Top and it looks great much to my surprise. I am fairly new to quilting and do not know how to free motion yet. I am wondering if there is something else other than free motion to finish it and still look pretty?
Amy
I do a lot of straight line quilting. Diagonal lines would work great with this quilt! Here's some tips: https://www.diaryofaquilter.com/machine-quilting-tips-cheater-print/
Donna Smith
Thank you, I ended up with diagonal stitch in the ditch and it looks great!
Donna Smith
Great quilt tutorial from a fairly new quilter. I was pretty scared to try this but I finally took the plunge and it turned out great. So pretty!
