Oh and 1 more do I cut off or tear off 1 piece before piecing the piecing them together? so I don't have two pieces of paper in the seam.

there is a method of paper piecing that doesn't require you to sew thru the paper. joannes was kind enough to provide us with this link on the method and she did in fact use it to make her blocks.

i use a psuedo type vellum for my paper piecing. i like it because i can see thru it so i don't need to pin, glue, or iron any fabric into place (big time saver).
then when you use a tiny stitch the paper just rips out without leaving one bit behind.
here's a link to the paper i use

as far as this block, i would remove all the paper and then assemble the block.
some times thats not always the case and you really make that decision based on the project.
when you leave it and sew everything together its much harder to get all the paper out because its trapped in some of the seams.

I use onion skin paper it is like tissue paper which is like the vellum and the tiny stitch. I usually do up all the blocks and then sit and watch TV and pick the papers out. My husband said what a pain huh? I said no it is actually calming. I guess I am strange like that but PP is my thing I love it

can you put it in a printer?
where do you get it?
does it leave in any bits when removed?
