Taking the paper off a queen size quilt is a couple of hours in front of the TV. Hopefully a leather one. On wood/tile floors. ;-)
It's really not a big deal. I keep all the paper on until the borders are attached.
I might remove the paper from the center right before, but I'll leave it on the outer blocks exposed edges are contained.
And with all the pressing, moving, pulling of the sections as you put the blocks together - it ain't worth it. Especially because of how the corners were sewn on, leaving bias all around.
Plus you don't have any paper in the seam allowances, right?
So it's even easier.
