Oh dear dear....i have a whole bunch of old white sheets that were given to me after the old inn burned down....too old for backing but perfect for foundation piecing...how come i didn`t think of it before!!! Thank you so much for the great idea!!!!!

The paper is your foundation..you use it to keep all those little pieces flat and not get all wonky and you take the paper off when done...you can use fabric for a foundation also...good for using up fabrics you don't want but I like the paper ...can always find other things to do with fabrics
