I used this paper per pattern instruction just to try something different. Also I think that it would be tedious to make this quilt without paper since the squares are 5" so one side of sashing would be 5". Paper should have made it easier but that was not my experience. Top is not that extra heavy with paper although the seams are somewhat bulky. I will probaby not make this again but the finished results were worth the aggrivation.
