I forgot to mention that I leave the batting in when I sew the pieces together then trim off as much as possible after stitched together.

Don't sew through the paper. Instead, I use a dab of washable glue stick to hold the fabric to the paper. Fold the paper on the sewing lines and sew right next to the line. No more ripping paper off when you're done!

This is called Paper-less paper piecing. You can use the same piece of paper for numerous blocks. A friend made 20 blocks with the same paper. You fold the paper on the lines and crease all the way across. All the lines. Then start with number one and do them in order. Fun, fun, fun. No paper ripping.
