Correct, especially if you're doing several pieces with Heat 'N Bond, it will make the quilt stiffer. And if there are 2-3 layers of parts on top of parts --- it's great for doing the blanket stitch because it all works as stabilizer, but it gets very stiff in certain areas. It's perfectly fine for table runners or wall hangings, but for a bed quilt, I'd try to minimize the size of the Heat 'N Bond for the larger pieces, exactly as you showed on the flip-flop.
