I love your quilt block and how you clear the pp on the back. I have done all three of Laura Aaron Hird's quilts and that was a lot of paper piecing...141 six and half squares on the first, 90 of eight and half squares on the second and 99 six and half squares on the third. The last one is not sewn together yet...other two are hanging on my walls. I used Best Press to press and that made the paper easy to tear off the back. i did not worry about the small areas, because Carol Doak says to not worry about them....with her pp paper, it will wash away. Worked great on the first two Farmer;s Wife Quilts.
