Thanks for all the nice responses...I have completed 48 blocks now, and doing a 6 X 8 top..then a white border to calm the eye, then I have pieced a scrap strip piano key border to go on the outside...now I have to remove all the papers...Sigh!!!! I read to shorten your stitch while piecing them, then run your scissor handle down the sewed seam and the papers tear right off...so lets hope this works...A good movie on TV would help also...wish me Luck!!
