I made a backing for a Christmas wall hanging with this two years ago. I have not completed the project yet as in my mind the seams were way too bulky on the back and the pieces which were to go onto the wall hanging were fusible. I am concerned that when I put the fusible applique on the front that they would not adhere well with the lumpy back. .... Just my observations.

I have made Mondo and Midi bags that have the interfacing in the pattern. A great way for all the seams to match. The bags are nice too.

You can get that from Quiltsmart. They carry a lot of patterns using this method. Here is the link to the 2" interfacing

I've done a few quilts like this. You can always use the same process, but break the quilt down into 1/4's so you aren't dealing with a super big piece of interfacing with your squares fused on. Then, sew the 1/4's together. Less seams to match up! Works great.

I forgot all about that stuff... Thanks for the reminder to go look for it and try it out..

never heard of the stuff, but i could see where it could be a real help as i try to do a 8bit mario block and a link block from nintendo.

It was a fun process, but I did find it quite bulky. My project used a panel in the center with a wide border made up of 8 rows of 2" squares. When quilting it with my long arm machine, I chose to only quilt on the panel. The end result was not my favorite.

Yes there is a printed interfacing for that. I have never used it, wonder how the bulk factor is.......why not simply sew into blocks then join the larger blocks together.
