This is A Great Video! It will help me put together a tshirt- Sweatshirt Quilt. Thanks! For Sharing 😊
Amazing work, just beautiful.😊
Hi Lisa I asked you for some help with my quilt and you are so kind and wonderful that you said you would but I figured that I got my self into this I have to get my self out so I kept watching more of your tutorial and it has helped when I am done with this quilt I will send you a post with a picture of it but I do want to thank you for you being there for your fans thank you ☺️😉
I would love to see photos!!
So happy I found you!!! You are by far the best teacher out there. Have just been quilting for about a year and have learned so much from you!! Thank You!!!
Wow, thank you so much Vera! After a year, I'm pretty sure you are hooked now like the rest of us hahahaaa. I'm always here to lend a helping hand if I can :)
Oh my gosh. I am so thankful I found you. This is my first quilt. I love the collage style T shirt quilts. Cut and fused all my shirts. Laid them all out and thought....”oh my lord how am I going to get these random sizes together?” Panic began. Then I found you. Glue basting? Wow!! Partial seams? What???? I get it now. So tomorrow I will start my assembly. I will go VERY SLOWLY but....I have my grid, my glue and a little more courage than I had before. Thank you Lisa very very much
I loved your post!!!! And I love the excitement I am hearing from you....I really hope you keep me updated on your quilt :)
@@TheQuiltmakerHomestead Promise I will. As soon as I can get my blasted walking foot onto my machine I can actually get going. Oh the tape on the machine was a GREAT idea. Turned out the edge of my usual foot is not 1/4 as I thought it was..............it is 3/8!!!!! Now THAT would have been a quick disaster. Thanks for yet another tip.
@@TheQuiltmakerHomestead As promised I said I would let you know how I'm doing. I put the first block together.....5 12 x 12 squares. Went slowly. All is well. Then I started my second block which consists of 4 different size blocks. I have learned the following:
1. If you hear yourself say "That cut is close enough and I'll fix it when I put it together..............STOP and FIX IT IMMEDIATELY.
2. Yes you need to be PRECISE with the measurements when you are cutting. 1/4 inch MATTERS!!!!!
So I am in the process of trimming and recutting sections of block #2. Oh and much ripping of stitches!!!!!
More later!!!!! Anita
@@jerseygirlnolastname979 you just made some excellent points ♡♡♡ im glad to hear the update!
I have been wanting to me a T-Shirt Quilt for my granddaughter and was so terrified of messing up, so I never got started. You have motivated me to put my fears aside and follow step-by-step how to put it together. I LOVE your Tutorials. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
Ordered grids from you! Thank you!!! Love this!
Hope you like it!
Thank you so much for creating your Parts 1-3 for a "Collage Style T-Shirt Quilt." I have completed my first T-shirt quilt from watching your videos. I am so happy with the visual instruction you provided to address partial seams. I was challenged to determine which sections to put together when there were partial seams, but by re-watching Part 2 and your other video "Partial Seams in T-shirt Quilt w/Different Sized Blocks", I was able to work through my challenge successfully. Again, I sincerely thank you.
Lisa, I had not planned on making a T-shirt quilt, however now I want to!. You’re a great teacher. Clear, calm, precise instructions are easy to follow. Thank you for spending so much time teaching the rest of us!
Jennifer you have made my day! I love that you are going to make a t-shirt quilt....but pre-pare yourself......once everyone sees what you can do....they will all want one hahaaa :)
Thank you so much for this series. The patient way in which you explain and demonstrate each step makes it all seem possible! You are an excellent teacher!
Thank you sooo so much Eloah!
Really turned out nice. The small squares gave a pop of color and balance. Hope your customer appreciates what you’ve accomplished. Stellar!!
they loved their quilt :) Thanks so much for the awesome feedback!
I thoroughly enjoyed your tutorial on collage quilts using your grid. I learned so much. Thank you!
Sorry, I was suppose to say" As always your videos are GREAT, and Thank You for giving us so much information."
Great detail on how to do partial seams! Thank you!
I appreciate this series of tutorials on the Collage Style T-Shirt Quilt, and you've actually made the partial seem appealing to work with (kind of looking forward to trying it), thanks so much for taking the intimidation off of it. I love how you've approached this quilt with your grid planner, and then taking this truly bite by bite, I can't wait to work with my friend to complete her quilt for her son's graduation. Thanks for taking the time.
Hey Kristen! I'm so glad I was able to walk through the partial seams and that I explained it so that it made sense. These types of quilts are a lot of fun to make and I think you'll enjoy making your friends quilt. Thanks for watching :)
Very helpful, thank you
I am following along with your videos! My daughter is 35 and I have kept her t-shirts from grade school and high school. She said she would love a quilt this past Christmas, so I am excited to do this for her! I have my blocks interfaced and cut. Thank you for sharing your great method!
I'm so glad you are breaking out her shirts and making a quilt with them :)
Great job explaining a very confusing subject. I find the grid a great idea and really organizes the work.
theresa t thank you so much :)
Thank you for making this series, the quilt turned out GREAT!
Thank you for doing this series of "Collage Style T-Shirt Quilt". I do not have a T-shirt quilt to make at this time, but I can see a "transferable concept" in what you've shown us. IF one has a number of leftover blocks from other quilts OR wants to use fabric scraps of favorite large or small prints, your grid system and partial seams would be a great way to organize the different sized "blocks". I'm imagining one with large floral prints and another one with some various dog prints I have. In order to get them to adapt to the 4.5 -inch grids, I could always use some "coping strips". Also, I think you've got me convinced about how advantageous glue basting can be vs. pin basting for accuracy in joining seams. Thanks again; I really enjoyed your explanations.
Thanks for watching!!! I have a smaller 2" grid set as well....and YES you are absolutely right....they help organize and plan all types of quilts...Im using the 2" grid yo plan a "mystery quilt " series with all different size blocks ♡ I love your idea of florals....try the glue and let me know what you think :)
Excellent series. You have taken the fear out of making a collage t-shirt quilt.
Then I have accomplished my goal ♡♡♡ thanks for watching!
I totally agree !
You give me hope!! LOL Off I Go!
you can do this Brandi!!!
I love that it's not just all the same size squares. Hopefully one day, I will make my quilt. I have lots of concert shirts, with a front and back (listing the tour cities and dates) and make it reversible. this was a good tutorial to make it not just boring rowsl.
I so love your happy laugh/chuckle. It just makes me so happy. Your quilt is wonderful and you are so helpful
Hello Lovely, thank you so much!
Oh my goodness, I'm glad I looked back into your old videos. I am trying to make a onesie quilt for a friend. I have never done it so you have helped me so much. I was worried about all the different blocks. I think it will turn out beautiful now. Thank you so much! Be safe, stay well!
I'm so excited to begin my quilt.
First time T shirt quilt.
Thank you for the videos.
What a blessing you are.
Best instructions I've run across.
WOW ! Amazing!
All my grid work is done and I’m stitching today. The glue basting is awesome. My corners are matching perfectly. Thank you, Lisa!
Jennifer Mussard aweeeee, this makes me so happy!!! Thanks for the update ♡♡♡
Thank you Lisa for the time & effort you put into showing us how to make this quilt. ❤️ 💛 💚 💙 💜
It was my pleasure, thanks for following along!
I have loved watching you make this quilt. You made it look so easy! It is beautiful.
thank you so much Montra! There was a learning curve, and I'm sure so many people do it differently, but eventually I came up with this method that helps me put these quilts together, which for me anyways does make it a lot easier and less math for me to do hahaha
Thanks again for making these videos. I really enjoy your hard work.
Thanks Jo ♡♡♡ I appreciate your time in watching :)
I'm not on Facebook. I'm sure it's beautiful as always!!
I really enjoy your careful tutorials!Thanks!
Gosh, these videos are amazing. I've made 13 t-shirt quilts and have always wanted to tackle this style but was afraid. Your videos have given me the confidence to do this! Thanks a million!
You are so welcome!
Glue. .who knew. Looks so much crisper. Thank you.
you would be amazed at the difference it makes!!!
Thanks, Lisa, for this series! It really helps seeing how things are done. I love your grid system, and partial seams are no longer something to avoid. I know I have a t-shirt quilt or two in my future.
I'm glad I was able to show how they work, I've wanted to do a video on them for some time now....I'm glad it wasn't TOO confusing hahaaa.......happy quilting!
This was awesome...Elmer's glue...who would have thought ! My tshirt quilt worked out perfectly! My first tshirt quilt was trail and error. I came out good ,but frustrating a bit. I did this second memory quilt and it was a breeze! Very enjoyable. I'm working on the third one now! Great tips!!
Thank you so much for these! I can hardly wait to get started.
Loved this series and this is just what I needed because the logos I am working with are different sizes. I love your new intro, too.
I'm so happy that you found this series useful!!! Happy quilting friend :)
Love your videos you are great I have been wanting to make a memory quilt for my daughter as her 8 year old daughter passed away Thank you so much
Oh my goodness, I am so sad to hear that. I can only imagine how special that quilt would be when you make it....you'll have to keep me updated on your progress :)
Wow, I wish I hadn't cut the t-shirts before having found your grid. You took so much of the math out and created a beautiful design!
Glad it was helpful!
Great video series! You really cleared up the "partial seam" concept for me!
awesome, I'm glad I was able to help!
Thank you for this series! I just finished the 3rd part and am very encouraged! I've never quilted before and I want to make my daughter a collage T-shirt quilt. People have tried talking me out of it because "it's harder than quilting" Your directions make it sound not so hard. Time-consuming, yes, but not unattainable. I look forward to the next 2 videos and joining your FB page.
You are so right....it is NOT unattainable! I'm finishing up another series right now on another collage style t-shirt quilt on my channel......maybe you'll see some tips there that might help too :) Don't let the naysayers stop you from what you want to accomplish....you can do this!!
You are AMAZING!!!! Your instructions are detailed and you let us know why we are doing something. I have some school art my granddaughter did in kindergarten this year (11 pieces approx. 11 x 14 including white borders and I did not have a clue how to put them together since some are horizontal, some are vertical and sizes aren't exact. Now I know how to add blocks in between to even out the areas where there are no printed art pieces. Thank you so much. I see your phone number is near my area and that you do longarm quilting too. I may be calling on you to quilt the quilt for me. You are the greatest. Please continue providing us with this valuable sewing information. You are very much appreciated.
wow, we really do live in a small world don't we??? I would LOVE the opportunity to quilt your quilt for you!!! I'm glad the instructions are helpful....sometimes I wonder as I'm making the video...Your quilt sounds like it is going to be so special...even if I don't quilt it....I would LOVE TO SEE PICTURES!! Have a great day!!
Thank you. I have loved and learned so much, I like the glueing it makes everything look so crisp.
You are so welcome!
What a great series! I’m about to do my first T-shirt quilt for my daughters Greek letters. This really helps my confidence Thank you so much !
I am sooooo glad these videos have been helpful for you Charity!!! You can do it!
Thank you!. I am going to make my first tee shirt quilt and your tutorials are wonderful. I have learned so much from you. Love your work.
I'm SOOOOO glad these videos have been helpful for you Julie!
This was indispensable information for me. I would have struggled with the sequencing of the seams. So thankful to you for sharing! My next quilt will be my first t-shirt quilt! Have a very Blessed Easter!💐
have fun with your first quilt!!! You'll do fabulous
Lisa Capen Quilts, I kind of cringe at the length of processing the t-shirts. I work mainly with precuts and yardage. I’ve been sewing and quilting my quilts since Dec 2013. I love the process, my favorite part is the free motion quilting! We purchased a long arm this past December. So far I’ve only made one quilt with the long arm. I’m working now on a holy communion dress for my daughter. My next quilt is a memory quilt for the widow of my husband’s close friend. I’ve made memory bears with T-shirt’s before so I’m familiar with the interfacing portion. The rest will be a new adventure! Thank you for all of the indispensable information! Happy Easter!🐣
Anitra Marinchek that is my least favorite part of making t-shirt quilts......adding the interfacing...sometimes I think about getting a press to speed up the process, however I have limited space in my little studio...I have no idea where I would put it lol. Soo......I just turn on Pandora loudly...and chill out during that part. It helps lol. I have a few memory bears to make....Ive never done them before...I could use some pointers!!
Lisa Capen Quilts, I have made over 50 bears since I started a few years ago. They are a labor of love to be sure! I use the signature bear pattern from the Funk Friends Factory. It uses buttons to attach the limbs, I use covered buttons. I have better success with that than the sewn in limbs for some reason. I use Pelion SF101 for the interfacing. Sadly I waste a lot of it because I fuse the entire front and some of the backside of the shirts in order to accommodate all of the pattern pieces. Often times I opt to use coordinating shirts to make them even more unique. I buy my 18mm safety eyes from a vendor on Etsy. There are so many wonderful vendors now! I stuff the bear pieces and ladder stitch them closed. I made my own pattern for the nose. I found that unstabilized knit fabrics work well. I stuff the nose and sculpt it a little once it’s completely sewn on. I also pull the eyes in slightly with a needle and some thread. I use a 5” doll needle to sew the limbs on. I wish I could find a 7” needle but I have had no luck with that. Then I make little bows for the ears for girl bears and all bears get a bow around the neck.
Anitra Marinchek thank you so much! I'm going to look up that pattern ♡♡♡
Thanks so much Lisa, was definitely an educational video, I truly enjoyed and looking forward to using this info!! Thanks again!!
Glad it was helpful!
Glue basting! How did I never know about this before in my 62 yrs? And you have taken the fear out of partial seams for me. Thank you!
Thank you Lisa for your simplified instructions sharon
Thanks for watching along 😊
Thank you! This was very clear and I feel confident now to try a collage quilt.
Have fun creating your quilt and enjoy the process :)
Love it! Your grid is amazing!
I'm so glad you like it, thanks for watching along
love the way you explain , i m ready to make one for the first time Thanks
Wonderful series! The quilt looks amazing!!
Thanks Jo :)
Thanks Lisa I really enjoy your videos. you always do an awesome job
Thanks Cherry
Really really pretty. Love it.
thank you so much :)
Lisa this is amazing. I am about 1/2 done piecing my quilt with this method and I am TICKLED! It works so well!! I managed to plan a quilt that won’t require any Y seams but it took a few tries mapping it out. I never thought I’d be able to make a T-shirt quilt so easily!!
this makes me happier then you'd ever know!!!! I struggled for a long time making the t-shirt quilts and finally came up with this....I am so glad it has been helpful for you :)
Oohh, so many great tips. Thank you!
You're so welcome!
tHANKS!
my pleasure, thanks for watching!!
I do believe I am in way over my head! You make it look easy but my brain..I don’t know😳
Bull Island love 🐂♥️
Watching this 4 year old video after watching a newer series of your videos. You went from graph paper to a software program. Was the program you use now developed for your quilt making method? I love how you get so precise with glue basting!
Do you have a video on the batting, backing, and binding added to your t-shirt quilts? I've learned so much. I'm about to get started on my first collage style t-shirt quilt. You have given me the confidence I need. Thanks so much!
Kathryn Montalbano you are so welcome, I love hearing that you are inspired and encouraged to get started. If you look in my playlists under t-shirt quilts, I have a 5 part series and in one of those videos I do the batting backing and binding :)
Thank you I have the task of finishing a t-shirt quilt that is already cut out in different sizes. Help! I did the grid and they all fit!!!!
I even learned the puting 1/2 seams. can't wait to do the next one instead of 12 x 12 squares S. Moe
no its not confusing you explain it very well..thanks
thank you for letting me know....sometimes it makes sense in my head...yet I have a hard time explaining hahahaha :)
What a wonderful series. I am making a tshirt quilt and I am following along on what you have shown on these videos. your quilt looks amazing and hope mine does too when I am finished with it. Although I am not sure how to quilt it.
I'm sure your quilt will turn out fantastic! The QUILTING is usually the most dreaded part hahahaha....and to be honest....it does take practice and more practice, however.....ANYONE can do it :) My advice is enjoy the whole process and don't take it to seriously....it's suppose to be fun :)
Thank you for making this series! I have been watching them all to figure out how to attach my first t-shirt quilt together! One question when you are sewing the pieces why do you put a small piece of fabric after joining the blocks together?
Awesome! Those are called leaders and enders, on UA-cam type in the search for Lisa Capen leaders and enders, I have a video explaining 😀
I think I can do this now. Thank you
You can do it Lori!! If you run into questions I'd love to try and help :)
Amazing... Thank you!!
My pleasure Carol, thanks for watching!
Thank you so much love it
Thank you Debbie ♡
Wow! Good series. Too bad I never saw this before I cut up my T-shirts into squares/pieces without stabilizing first!!
Thank you so much Laurel :) It's always information you can use in your next quilt heheheee
I’m going to start using your grid method. I’ve been cutting various sizes which has made it a challenge & poor use of time. TY
I came up with this after making so many mistakes....and huge losses of time and money! Now everything just simply works out :) Thanks for watching!
Thanks for sharing. I really enjoyed how you used the paper to place all of your blocks. Very informative. Where can I get the paper ?
Hi Brenda, if you click open the description box below there is a link to the grid set ♡
Your system is awesome, thank you for sharing. What kind of fabric do you use for the backing and binding for your T-shirt quilts?
What size did you end up with? Is there a way to determine quilt size. I have all my shirt squares but wondering what size? Making first collage tshirt quilt. Love your soooo helpful videos. Tnank you.
Hi Sheila :) I use my quilt planning graph paper. That gives me the sizes after filling in all the spaces. Have you seen those? www.etsy.com/shop/LisaCapenQuilts?ref=seller-platform-mcnav§ion_id=24732787
This is absolutely JAW DROPPING!!! I never knew about partial seams before, THANK YOU Lisa!! My only question is this: are the seam allowances just assumed in the grid? Like you cut a shirt 10 x 12 for example. Is the seam allowance just in that measurement to then translate to the finished quilt size for your grid? (you didn't cut them 10.5 x12.5 I guess is what I am trying to ask!!!) I am just starting my quilting journey. I made one each for my own daughters and watching your videos I see many lil mistakes, but should be ok I hope!!!!! Thank you again for all you share Lisa!!
Thanks for watching Lori!!! Ok so the grid represents a FINISHED size......so if it's a 4" grid...each one of the squares you see represent 4 exact inches. Now when you cut out your block, that is when you add your seam allowance. As an example.....I want my t-shirt block to fit into a 8x12 block.....I would cut the block at 8.5x12.5. I hope that clears it up however if you have more questions I'd love to help :)
@@TheQuiltmakerHomestead EEEK! Just found your response! You nailed the answer, I totally get it now! Thank you for all the great info you share with us!!!
Hi Lisa, I've never quilted before---I decided to make a T-shirt quilt----after going through all of my T-shirts--they are ALL WHITE!! They have colorful writing and pictures, but white T-shirts. I'm going to try to use some sashing---and/or colored t-shirts for blocks for added color-------I have cut some of the shirts---MISTAKE #1--- I am now too afraid to do anything else now because I don't know what to do----did I mention, I found your site too late..... please give me some suggestions as to what I should do next!!! Thank you----
it's never too late :) We just need to re-visit. The shirts that you've already cut, you can add white cotton fabric to them to make them the correct size. That will fix it :) The colored sashing will be a great addition to break up all of the shirts, great idea!
@@TheQuiltmakerHomestead Thank you for getting back to me so quickly----one question: not too good with math and fractions---so every block has to dividable by 4? Are you saying that every block should be either 4, 8, 12, 16, 20---etc. or it will not work?
I wish you were here with me I'm stuck on a t shirt quilt for a while now I need your help so bad
Hey Ramona. Are you on Facebook?? If not you can email me....maybe we can zoom together and get past the part you are stuck on ♡
@@TheQuiltmakerHomestead I'm going to take a picture of what I have done and will send it to you you are amazing for trying to help me you do absolutely beautiful and amazing work someday I hope to be as good as you are in quilting or at least half as good I was forced to stop working so I thought that I would take up something to help out my husband pay some of the bills but never realized that I would have this much trouble but I am not a quitter I will see this to the end the t shirt quilt is for my sister she has tio much confidence in me I have already cut and stabilized then but they are all different sizes I am using grid paper to try and figure out how to put them together but I also wanted to use sashing that's the hard part
Yes I'm on Facebook
@@ramonaperea243 find me on Facebook, Lisa Capen Quilts. I Would love to help!
Great videos. Can't wait to start. Quick question: Did you use and fuse T-shirt material for the filler blocks?
I did :) I like using the scraps of the same shirts, adding stabilizer to those also, and then fill in empty places in the design, it works so great :)
Thanks Lisa. You are giving me confidence to go forward w my first t-shirt collage quilt. Did you make up your own graph for quilt or is there a template somewhere online?
You are so welcome! I did make the graph sets, and I have them available in my Etsy shop: www.etsy.com/shop/LisaCapenQuilts
An you add some flying geese in between your blocks
I love the grids you came up with, how do you determine which size grid to use??
If I want to make a full size quilt, which is best?? Sorry if this sounds "dumb" I am new at tshirt quilts, I enjoy making them, your method is awesome and I know it would save me some time!! Thanks for your videos!!
Hi Teresa! I have several different grid sizes....examples being a 2" grid, 4" grid, 12' grid and so on. Each grid set gives you 5 different quilt sizes. For block style quilts I use the appropriate grid set for the size of the block I'm cutting from the shirts. For collage style quilts, or for designing my own patchwork quilts I use the 2" or the 4" size. My all time "GO TO" size is the 4" grid for collage style quilts. It offers a ton of variable options for cutting the blocks. I'm hoping this helps :)
It's gorgeous! How do you deal with the issue of blocks that are too small or too odd-shaped for your grid? Do you add filler strips or would you applique? Thanks.....
Thank you so much! Well......that's the awesome thing about creating a quilt....you can do BOTH :) A lot of the times I use bits of the t-shirts that are blank to fill in areas where the logo may not be big enough to fill. You can add a border around your logo, you can do patchwork...all kind of things! You can even get material that matches your blocks or with a theme to fill in areas. You could add pictures, or embroidery on blank pieces if you wanted to fill them in with something.....and applique!
Hi Lisa, as always your videos. Do you wash your quilts before you give them to the customer?
Yep, I throw them through the wash with some color catchers ♡♡♡ thank you so much for the kind words and for watching 😀😀😀
What do you use for borders? Could you combine the leftover tshirt fabric for that? Just curious
this particular quilt did not get borders :) Yep, you could absolutely use leftover shirt pieces for that as well, and that works great!
Hi Lisa. Thank you for sharing your tutorials...I find them extremely helpful! I was considering putting two small patches sewn onto a T-shirt square on the quilt. Do you know if something like that will work when it goes to the long arm quilter? They’re on the thicker side.
You can certainly add the patches onto your quilt, I've done it SEVERAL times and it looks great, HOWEVER I would check directly with your longarmer as she may have different thoughts about quilting it. All longarm quilters are different and have different "rules" lol......give them a call and ask :)
Am I correct in assuming that your grids won’t work if your blocks are divisible by 3…..(12, 9,or 6 blocks). Thanks. Oh, and what size needle do you recommend. Ballpoint?
I myself like using a universal needle, and I start with size 12/80. You may need to adjust the size depending on your shirts. I do have a grid that is a 3" grid :)
@@TheQuiltmakerHomestead Thanks. Already bought your 2” grid set and subsequently learned that previously logos already cut to 10” vs
10-1/2. Only way I can salvage them is to trim to 9-1/2 which would bring me to a 3 denominator forcing me to use that denominator for everything. Would lose lots of logo on majority if trimmed to 8-1/2. Nightmare. Suppose I can just lay on floor if I ever get to that point. Surprised you use universal needle vs. ballpoint. Interesting. Since you’re the quilt guru, I have faith. 😃 Thanks again.
I am so co fused on which way to press the seams.
I'm new at this is that a fabric glue you're using
My favorite glue is Elmer's School Glue and Elmer's Glue All.
I just put together a quilt that is 'irregular' like this. Can't stitch in the ditch or make even lines for quilting (on my basic sewing machine:). So, how do you do the quilting?
I think you could stitch in the ditch however it would require a lot of patience, and a lot of starting and stopping moving around the different blocks of the quilt. You would also use your darning foot or free motion foot and do some quilting that way as well.
@@TheQuiltmakerHomestead Thank you.
What sewing machine are you using in this video? Or can anyone else tell me?
In this video I'm using my Singer Patchwork sewing machine :)
why do you use the little pieces of material at the beginning and end of each section then cut them off
they are called leaders and enders :) helps a lot to keep the thread from nesting at the start and end of a seam, also keeps needle from coming unthreaded...and saves so much thread!!
This might be a dumb question, but what is the purpose of the little piece of fabric at the end of your stitching line?
They are called " leaders and enders " if you search that in UA-cam you'll find all kinds of videos about them :)
Thank you Lisa, by the way I love your videos and I'm getting brave and give quilting another chance lol...@@TheQuiltmakerHomestead
Where can I get the grid papers?
Hi Valerie, I'm gonna post a link to the listing of the 2" quilt grid set, that is the most common grid set I use, however I do offer different sizes so while you are in the shop you can browse them as well: www.etsy.com/listing/586620313
Is there a link to where to buy the grid sheets?
Hi Jani, yep the link is in the description box of this video :)
