KSUE ~ Thanks for reminding me to get out my scraps and using the fusible web!

I have some of that grid that I got at a thrift store, sans instructions. LOL... any chance you still have yours and could copy and send them to me by PM? Or perhaps there is a link out there for how to use it?

Why do you need a "grid" to sew squares together?

Yes Mary O, it is fusible grid I bought from Quiltsmart. It works great for me.

Please explain what this process you are talking about really is. Did you use a fusible marked 2" grid and if so, why does it not show on the back side photo? If it is a the fusible grid, does it wash off after sewing? Not understanding what your process was. Nice looking blocks, for sure.

Yes, I used a 2 inch fusible grid. It is very lightweight and if you look at the 2nd picture closely you can see where I added some blocks that did not have the complete 2 inch grid stamped on it (I figured, why waste it) The bottom row did not have a complete square. The interfacing should stay in - I am assuming the glue on the grid will wash out.

For me, I personally like the way the blocks line up perfectly. It is fast and easy.
