Do you mean English paper piece where you use a paper template and baste the fabric around the shape and then when you have them all done you whip stitch them all together? A popular one is Grandmothers flower garden.
Here is a tutorial on it. I use this type of hand work when I am traveling.

You can also click the search at the top of this page and type in "paper piecing" and lots of info will pop up.

Paper piecing is very easy and addictive. You will have so much fun doing it. I just love it.
