Lovely multi-coloured blocks will surely please the majority of us; good luck with the rest of it.

You need to learn how to do paperless paper piecing. First fold your pattern on all lines, all the way across.

Place your next piece, right sides together, and sew NEXT TO the fold. Now press that fabric open, open the pattern, glue tack that down, and fold where the next piece will go on. Continue, in order, to finish it.

That same piece of paper can be used again and again. No paper to rip off. Works beautifully.
