I LOVE to paper piece! I have one comment to make, though. You suggest to "starch" the finished block. However, I found that bugs (especially carpet beetles) will eat the starch and destroy your hard work. They literally leave holes in the fabric. What I found is better is "sizing". This stiffens the fabric but is not a starch product. This starch problem has been verified by various quilt appraisers, teachers, etc., I am not making this up. Just thought I'd help. :idea:
