Creating grids with UIViews

All, I need to create a grid of UIViews, in another square UIView (which is bigger). So I want to create UIViews of x=20,y=20 which will make a grid in a UIView.

I know how to create a UIVew programatically in swift, for example : 

let rectangle = UIView(frame: CGRectMake(location.x, location.y, 20, 20))
        rectangle.backgroundColor = UIColor.redColor()
        self.view.addSubview(rectangle)

but whats the best way to add this UIView to another UIView and NOT the main one.

So I have the main UIView which covers the screen and a smaller one which is for the grid and then I want UIViews to make the grid ?

Any help would be brilliant, and better than me making over a hundred UIIViews in IB.

Use a UICollectionView. Far and away the best solution for creating a grid layout.
