This is called Paper-less paper piecing. You can use the same piece of paper for numerous blocks. A friend made 20 blocks with the same paper. You fold the paper on the lines and crease all the way across. All the lines. Then start with number one and do them in order. Fun, fun, fun. No paper ripping.
