    Have used and taught this method. Not good for quilts but rather for wallhangings. See happyhollowdesigns.com for cute ideas and instruction.

    Pellon sells gridded fusible.....I made a table runner using it a number of years ago. Much easier than individually piecing all those squares!

    Yes,you can get the fused material with the grid printed on it and it is dead easy. Good for fussy piecing.

    Wish I had known about this before I started the mini quilt using a mini charm pack that someone gave me. Shucky-durn.

    So you think even the very thin interfacing would be too thick for a quilt?

    Use REALLY thin interfacing and place it over a paper grid on the ironing board and pin the outside edges to keep it from moving - don't bother to mark the interfacing. Easy peasy, and not so thick. You can cut the seams open, or clip each intersection, depending on how you feel that day. -LOL!

    I have seen a watercolor quilt done in this way on TV. Any mosaic type pattern would be good, I would think.
