If you want a background filler that fills quickly, there is Skip
Tent. I don't know that I have seen it in any books, though it may
well be. If you know Basketweave, or Diagonal Tent Stitch, that is
it except you start in a corner and literally skip, doing alternate
stitches. It looks light, and effective and takes half the thread
that normal basketweave does, looks nice.
Another Trellis link is

or this one

I had all the Classic Stitches copies since they came out but gave up
a couple of years back when I moved here to a condo and donated my
mags to my Guild. Best of both worlds, if I want to track anything
down, I can borrow them from our library lol
