Okay so now it's my turn to say "wan-hu?" Okay, I understand about the squares, especially now, but I don't understand how to do it with other shapes, in my case, my entire quilt is bias square triangles. so would I just sew up the diagonals too?

Hi Elisabeth- that is exactly right. There is a quilt company in Montana here that specializes in on point quilts using the fusible interfacing. http://www.crookednickel.com/home.html
The owner and designer is Lisa Maki and she travels all over the country to quilt shows to show her technique. One of her patterns is-And your point is? :-) :-) So anyway, check out her website, she has some great information that might help answer your question.

Dina Pappas owns my LQS, Dina's Cozy Cabin. :D Her technique dose work. Even if you miss and don't lay evry square quite straight the finished project looks great.
I tried the technique on the bib and pocket sections of a of a apron using 1 1/2" squares. I gridded my own light weight interfacing for the project, then machine quilted the finished bib block using preshrunken flannel for the batting. The pocket i quilted without adding the flannel.
I did find it easier to lay a section the size of my iron the best. My project was small so I laid out all the pieces on the inferfacing. Just after I started ironing the phone rang. While playing with the dog, my nephew bump the ironing board (the iron was on my sewingtable). That was enough for me.

My very first quilt was the Quiltsmart Lonestar. I had no idea what I was doing and it came out beautiful. All the ladies at the quilt store where amazed at how all of my points matched up. I didn't know they were suppose to but Quilt smart made it happen without any effort from me.
I love there patterns and have made a couple others since the first one. I haven't tackled the watercolor one yet but I think it would be just as much fun as all of the others, let me know if you like your results.
