I have used, used dryer sheets. They are a non woven fabric that I just leave in place as a foundation. No pulling off paper. If you want a larger block you can put the sheets together by butting the edges and then zig-zag. This works well for string quilting as it is very light weight.

I read somewhere either on QB or in a quilt book the idea that you can use a Q-tip dipped in water to slightly dampen the foundation paper and it will come off much more easily. I don't remember what kind of paper, but probably phone book paper or sandwich wraps from the big box store would be the easiest.
