Welcome to the Quilting Board!
My postage stamp is still a UFO. I might have to give this a try when I finally get back to it.

My first quilts ever were made with the grid lining. It wasn't adhesive but did have a surface that held the blocks in place very well. I made several baby quilts with this before I got brave enough to move on. Thanks for reminding me of this process!

A friend gave me some of that grid stuff about 10 years ago...it's still in the plastic bag...
I use it when I do quilted photos. I also use it (1" size") when I need fusible interfacing. If I need a piece 7" by 9" I can just count off the squares and cut it to size.
Oh My! This is very nifty. I've often wondered how people who work with teensy tiny pieces can maintain their sanity and figured something like this was certainly "not for me". BUT, I love "odd" techniques like this and will certainly give it a try -- maybe do a block for a pillow cover.
I have made several wall hangings using the pre-printed 2" grid. It is fast and easy. You can buy several different kits using this method. You can check my stuff out on my webshots below:
I'm going to try this with 1.5" and 2" squares ... sounds like it should work. I've been hand stitching those together for quite a while with small scraps in hopes that someday I'll have a quilt. Thanks!
Make it a scrappy happy day!
what a wonderful idea! I'll have to give this a try!
Never thought about cutting the seams so they could be pressed open - that would definitely make it lie flatter!
What a clever way to do this. Thank you for sharing
