It came out far better than I expected and there is no way I personally could have done it without the grid.

This is what I was looking for!!!! Thank you so much!
You have given me hope and inspiration!
I will not use a 1/4 inch seam, because like Tartan mentioned, it would just meet up with each other on each side. I won't be "quilting" it much when it's done. I'll just do some straight stitching.
I think I'll do blocks of 10x10 (so 100 1 inch squares) and then either join them with sashing or just join them.
I do have the fusible grid, so that makes my life much easier ... if I didn't have the grid, I wouldn't even think about it!
Thanks so much everyone!
