Paper piecing foundation. I bought some from Missouri Star Quilt Company and they have a video for it online.

LOL, so happy to hear that I'm not the only one who finds a long forgotten purchase & says "huh" why did I buy that. LOL
Anyway just yesterday I ordered those paper squares after telling everyone at my group that I just use old telephone book pages for string quilts! My bad! We're using the string blocks for a group charity quilt.

I have some and used them for foundation paper piecing. I was working on the periwinkle and a wacky web. Practicing. Thanks for reminding me. I've got a lot left.
