Like JanRN and QuiltE I also PP'd the Farmers Wife and Pony Club quilts, 201 blocks in total (I think) I always remove the paper when I finish a block and if I need to align seams that maybe on an angle I will draw my 1/4 inch seam line on the fabric. I also remove the paper if I have to sew sections together as I loathe removing the paper from within a seam line. If you press well and use a little starch on your blocks you should not have any distortion but if you are worried you can sew a small line of stitched around the block. Hope this helps and I love your pattern..
