the fusing just holds them in place. then you fold on the grid line and sew a 1/4" seam from each grid line in one direction (i did the verticals first). that sews the fabric together on two faces, the left and right side. this would be the equivalent of sewing the rows of squares into horizontal strips. you get a bunch of flaps on the back side with the raw edges of the fabric on the inside. if you view the right-hand side of this large picture of the back side you can see the flaps of the seam allowances and the lines of the horizontal grid.
after that the seam allowances get clipped to the threadline along the horizontal grid lines, then the fold and sew process repeats on the horizontal lines. this sews the fabric together on the top and bottom faces of the squares.
