Paper for paper piecing found!
My husband and I went to the local Sherwin-Williams store because we are going to paint. We had to wait a bit while they mixed up the color and I found something that I could use in my quilting -
It's called general purpose masking paper, is a thin paper, just a tad bit lighter in weight than newsprint, and it was on sale. It's a plain tan color, I suspect it's the way any paper starts. The way it's used in the painting world doesn't justify doing anything to the color.
There were many different sizes and at the time, I was thinking I could draw whatever I wanted on it and use it for paper piecing
When I got home, it hit me, this is a size I could run through the printer and print off many copies if I wanted!
The particular size I bought is 12" by 60 yds, so I'll just have to use an old rotary cutter blade and slice off 8 1/2" pieces
The regular price was somewhere between 3 and 4 dollars, but on sale it was 2 something.
