You are doing a great job!!!!!
Suggestion: get some fairly stiff pellon, and cut it to go into your printer. Print your pattern on the pellon. Then, when you fold your piecing pattern to attach your next fabric--leave the fold in the pattern, and take your matched pieces to you machine, and sew right next to the pattern, but not on it. Put a dot of glue baste it ,and fold the pattern over your sewn fabric pieces, and go to you next line, repeating the same process,(fold, sew as close to the folded pattern as you can, dot glue, and go on.) that way you can make the piece, have the accuracy of paper piecing, and not have to tear away the paper. The pattern can be used many times over.
