Thank you, Quilter 65. I made the blocks 12" (finished); if I'd have thought it through before starting I think I'd have done 8 or 9". As Lyn mentioned, this quilt is huge when all 50 blocks are used. That's why I'm making smaller items.
Lyn, I've found if I fold the paper on the seam and sort of score it with my fingernail it removes pretty easily. I removed the paper as I finished each block so I didn't have all that to do at the end. I have small tweezers I use to get the little tiny pieces out of the points but I don't obsess about removing every itty bitty piece in the points either.
