When I use scrap paper, tissue or phone book paper to foundation piece a quilt I leave the paper in and then when I wash it the paper just melts into the batting, no harm no foul. Why would any one spend time on a totally unnecessary step of tearing the paper out. It seems to me that everyone is so focused on the rules and how to do everything just exactly right that they are loosing sight of the main reason we quilt ..... To make pretty and warm bed covers for our family and friends. If you are an "art quilter" then just ignore this post. I am sure different rules apply to you.

Thanks, Weezie. That's it! :). I haven't done anything with a foundation (obviously), but I used to know someone that did the English paper piecing. She found it very relaxing and portable.

That's English paper piecing.
