Likewise when you want to downsize a PP block.
Just be sure that you adjust the seam allowances down/up to the 1/4" width required.

Good Luck!

There is also a method of paper piecing that has you fold the paper back out of the way and then stitch right beside it. That way you don't stitch through the paper or tear it away. I'm sorry I don't know a name or better way to refer you to it. I have not done it enough to be able to explain it, but it might be worth checking out.

I would use the Freezer Paper PP'ing method or buy desolvable paper made for PP'ing

I use that all the time. I just call it the fold-back method

You, csstexas, hobbykat and quiltin'nan referenced this method. It is called "Paper-less Paper Piecing".

This is a very good method, and you don't even need to use freezer paper. Ordinary good quality copy paper works well. But you do need to attach the fabric a little to the paper. One smear of glue stick does the job. It pulls off easily when you are finished with the block ready for the next one. My friend made 20 blocks with the same piece of paper.

You need to crease all the lines all the way to the edges before you start.

I have "add-a quarter" and "add-an-eighth" rulers. They work well for cleaning up the seam allowances. Not all shops carry them but there was one at the Madison Quilt Expo.
