Why?? did I use it? As I was woking with it I was wondering that myself. This paper is supposed to make this pattern easier to make. After all fabric is ironed down then you put right sides together, the fabric fold easily on the gap between squares and sashing. You then sew 1/4" down from fold. This method works well if/when all fabric sticks to paper but I had problem with fabric not sticking. The squares are 5" with 1 3/4" sashing so by using the paper grid it should be easier to work with this size units and to get them on point. Try this method youself and let me know how you did.
