    I guess I didn't know of the 'print on demand' plan when I ordered. Only after I asked them where my order was did I learn this.

    I had that problem with a quilt I sandwiched using spray glue. Figured out that I had stretched and clamped the backing too tight. Released all that and it was ok.

    If you want to save the paper, what about laying the block on a copier to copy the back of the block where the paper is? That way you can have some of the history that goes with these blocks.
