I am new at quilting and would like to know what grid patterns are and who Georgia Bornesteel is. Thanks

Hi and welcome from the greater Los Angeles area. Don't know about grid patterns, but found this link for you.

Hope it helps.

Georgia is one of the first quilt instructors to showcase the quilt as you go method. To me, she along with Eleanor Burns, Kay Woods, Jenny Beyer, Billie Lauder and Mary Ellen Hopkins started the modern day quilting as we know it.

thanks

Georgia Bonesteel taught lap quilting for years, and her reruns are still shown on PBS here in North Carolina. She lives about 1 1/2 hr from me. Her books are still for sale, and have lots of information.
Here is some information on Grid patterns lots of information to look over.

grid pattern is actually just a way to look at how a block is constructed.
Most quilt blocks are based on a single block ... a four patch ... a nine patch ...
so, when you are looking at a more complicated block, such as say: carpenter's wheel (a block that has 64 pieces in it) ... if you can break the whole block into a grid of four by four, then the block begins to look more manageable ... it is a way to observe how a block or quilt is made. <wave>

hi and welcome
