    Hi Melissa, yes did it on the grid, however, knowing what to do I would use either steam a seam taking the first paper off and just sticking the 2" squares to it or just an ordinary fusing.

    For anyone who thinks this is difficult have a look at Whims Water Colour Quilts on the net. The pieces come cut in 2" squares and colour co-ordinated into dark, medium and light. When once I got my head round the concept it took me 2 days to place the 272 pieces, a lot like a jigsaw. Its really EASY to do. They have some gorgeous watercolours in their catalogue and on the net. LOL I have ordered another. :D Not expensive either.
    Tell me what you think of their web site.

    I can´t take the credit for this one. The kit came colour coórdinated dark, med and Light and it took 2 days to place the 272 2" squares, I thought at first I had bitten off more than I could chew, but honestly these are really easy to do (depending on what you i`pick.

    When I visited my sewing club on Tuesday, the girls all went mad and wanted one to so I have just ordered 6 for them so will post their centres when they get going on them.
