Please explain what you mean by "paper piecing" Thanks.
Paper piecing is a type of foundation piecing. You use paper foundations with your block pattern on it, and actually sew your fabric onto the paper pattern's back side, with a small stitch length. It's one way to get really nice, sharp points! You also don't have to worry about straight-of-grain, since the paper acts as a stabilizer. When you're done, then you tear off the paper (which is easier with that tiny stitch) & voila!
It's one of those things that is confusing (to me anyway :wink: ) to read about, but makes sense when you see it done.
