Leave it folded and sew right next to that fold. Fold back the paper for piece three, add the piece and sew next to the paper fold. No paper to tear away, and that paper can be re-used mulitple times. My friend made 20 blocks with the same piece of paper.
I have heard of this and seen a You Tube video of it being done. Such a great idea. I think my search term was "paperless paper piecing" Thanks for reminding me.
