I love to do paper piecing. I started out on really cheap muslin. leaving it in with the quilt. As time went on I purchased the pattern paper from office supply store. Then I changed to tissue paper. love it the best so far. You have to use a light box or a storm door as light box( the sunshine behind the glass helps to makes your design possible) tape ur design to glass then trace it to tissue paper,I have found tissue paper is not as dulling on the needle, but it can get messy if ur not carefull. Always have tape available....for when it come off b4 ur ready.

To do a crazy quilt I like to use a muslin foundation. I cut blocks of the muslin of the size blocks I want and then start sewing on my scraps or other pieces that I want on there. For me, I think crazy quilt blocks are a whole lot easier to make than PP blocks.

Seems like some people are talking paper piecing but meanwhile he started out talking about foundation piecing
which showed scraps on a piece of cloth - crazy quilting
To me it's two different things.
