the real plus side to paper piecing is once you get the grasp of it you can paper piece any block under the sun unlike traditional piecing where you continually have to learn different methods.
here is a link to a very popular tute on paper piecing. its for a very simple jane block and is a good jumping off point.

There's going to be some bits in the mini where the seam allowance is bigger than the actual bit showing!

i'm not to worried about the paper piecing blocks since the paper helps to hold everything in place until its done.
i'm gonna kick myself when i do the applique blocks.

i'd like to finish them both around the same time since they will be exactly alike except for size.
