I was watching the Cottage Treasures YouTube video of them making the Elephant Abstractions quilt. They had a great tip at the end of the piecing. Two people stood at opposite corners and tugged the quilt. You could hear the paper popping, they switched corners and then did it side to side. They commented that it made it much easier to remove the paper after doing this. This tip may not work on smaller blocks, but for a whole quilt top it was great.
