OK I finished making the blocks using paper foundation. Now I have to put the blocks into columns (rows). When do I take out the paper??? I'll still have bias edges on the columns (rows). Do I wait until the top is completely finished with a border on it?

Just found this and think I would like to join in. I see that I am making a slow start but I have to see if I have enough of a dark color , also if I have a tri recs ruler. Also have to decide to use either paper or muslin.

Sunrise, I made a triangle template instead of buying a new ruler to cut the dark triangles. I know some people started sewing with the strips & Strings they had on hand, & planned to continue as new strips joined their collection as they made other quilts. I didn’t use a foundation paper or muslin. I cut side pieces to fit alongside the triangle & sewed strings to fit that space. Mine worked out well & I used all my triangles & the Strings I had up to that point.
