Buying the cheapest copy paper at Staples will work beautifully for paper piecing.

I plan on this (below) being a "paper-piecing sampler quilt" when I'm done and I can fit it all together. I am just looking all over the web for paper-piecing patterns, and when I see one I like, I print it out and give it a shot. The biggest block is 18" and the smallest is 3". Some were simple and some had me banging my head on the sewing machine. And yeah, all the paper is still attached. (groan)
I take my papers off by holding each square gently by two edges, pushing my hands closer together, and rotating my hands gently. It helps pop the corners and edges loose, then I take off what I can easily, then repeat until all paper is removed. Good Luck. You are going to have a masterpiece when you are done! :thumbup:

wow, those are stunning. Seems like a lot of work. I've done a few PP blocks and they seem to take forever.
