Anndr, I just finished pp a Storm at Sea. I leave my papers in until I complete all the blocks. Then when it's time to join the blocks, I remove the paper from the outer seam edges where I plan to join the blocks. This way I can see all the seams and points that need to be lined up. I also found that the quilt lays flatter if I press open those seams. I remove all the other paper (what a pain LOL) after all my blocks are joined.
Hope this helps. Would love to see a pic of your finished project.
Just thought of another hint: instead of trying to pin through all the layers when joining my blocks I use those little red binding clips; they slide off easily when you get to them while sewing and don't distort the blocks at all the intersections like pins do.
