Found the book=Creative Fabric Weaving and she does fuse the blocks to interfacing. If you want to do "whole cloth", then you would need plenty of light weight interfacing like INSECURITY suggested. Whether you make blocks or whole cloth, you will have to satin stitch or other decorative stitch the raw edges... I've attached a pic of the cover of the book so you can get an idea of what it looks like.
