Hello!
After reading your post, I bouth the Favorite Traditional Quilts Made Easy. I just started reading about her grid method today. Did you use the grid method? What did you think about it?

Hope this helps. Have heard of them but never really understood. Now I do. I will have to try them soon.
I have made a Hunter's Star quilt: used the method in the book "Favorite Traditional Quilts Made Easy" by Jo Parrott. Her method used HST and didn't involve Y seams.
