    Sandpat:
    I found the BEST paper for paperpiecing...we have some stocks and bonds and every quarter we get a BOOK of stock notes and stuff that we don't know anything about, we let our broker do all our investing. We used to throw away these 300 page books of stock quotes until one day I wanted to try paper piecing and used a page from this book. The paper is very, very thin, almost like single ply tt paper but it's crisp. It works beautifully and tears away so simply and easily that it doesn't mess up your stitching. Stop in at an Edward E. Jones office and see if they have one of these books you can have if you don't get them yourself. Our books come from Putnum stocks company.

    Please do try it. It works great and it's a great way to recycle .

    It's just paper piecing, I think. Some people leave the paper in a wall hanging if it's not going to get any washing. I've seen antique blocks that still had the paper attached, maybe it just hadn't been removed yet?
