Quilt police...look the other way, lol ... I leave the tiny bits that are at the seams...I've done a double wedding ring that has Seminole triangles in the arcs, and have washed the quilt several times with no lumping.
Get a damp cloth, or a spray bottle of water...and lightly mist the paper. It will pull away much easier. Those little bits can be taken out with tweezers... but, I had a leg injury & was in no mood to pull them out, sitting in a recliner. So I left them.

I started to take the paper off last night and realized what a time consuming job it was going to be--a lot of pieces and some very tiny 1/4 inch specks that are sewn in the seam intersections under and in-between the seams. What is the fasted and best way to remove all of these paper pieces?
