These terms can be used interchangeably, but paper piecing can also mean English paper piecing. That is a hand sewing technique in which paper templates have fabric basted around them and then are whip stitched together. Also, sometimes people will use a thin fabric as a foundation that is left in the quilt of a foundation pieced block. I hope this makes some sense to you.
