But, I don't have the skill to do that. But, that border can be paper pieced and I can do a good job with that one.
Bettelove, I actually go to the dollar store and buy the gift tissue and actually do my paper pieceing with that.
But, does wax paper tear away easier because it's waxed? I have a good deal of parchment paper around the house. That's not waxed, but close.
I think I'll try that with my border.
I like to trace the paper piecing patterns onto muslin and pretend it is tissue and then I don't have to tear it off. It stays on with the block.
