You might want to watch this video. It is interesting way of doing PP without having to rip any paper. Haven't tried it yet but am anxious to see how well it works.

Could you share where you got this pattern. I just got into paper piecing and I love this. I think this would make an adorable baby quilt. The mama isn't finding out what she's having and I struggle sometimes with "gender neutral" ideas. This could be perfect!!

EDIT: Saw your post. Thanks

I have been practicing this technique and I absolutely love it. So easy once you get the hang of. just working on sampler blocks but really easy.

II tend to remove as much paper as possible as I go along, only leaving the edges that need to be lined up/joined to another block. As I complete each block I remove all the interior papers.then, as I join rows I remove more, by the time the quilt top is to her her I only have papers around the outside to remove

I always leave the paper on the block until I join the blocks on all four sides since the edges are not cut on the grain and subject to stretching. The paper keeps them stable. Once the blocks are sewn together that will stabilize them so you can take the paper off at that point. You'll want to leave the paper on the perimeter blocks until the border is on.

I've never made a bed size paper pieced quilt, but I always thought that once the blocks were pieced together, that you could remove the paper. I really love the elephants, it's going to be a great quilt.
