corner to corner

Across the diagonal

Corner to corner describes something extending diagonally across a rectangular space, connecting opposite corners: The quilt pattern runs corner to corner.

In crochet, corner to corner (often abbreviated C2C) is a technique where fabric is worked diagonally rather than in horizontal rows, creating squares that build from one corner to the opposite.

The phrase also describes measuring or covering the full diagonal span: The rug stretches corner to corner across the room.
