Wonderful quilt, Marion. This is sort of personal preference and won't work for this quilt but I always remove the paper in small batches as I finish four or five blocks before I sew the blocks together. Tearing a whole quilt like this would be just too daunting to me.
Make it fun.

Great
job!I spent 15 minutes taking three blocks of paper apart ... got frustrated and googled it ... tossed the whole thing in the wash on a quick / cold wash .... and all the paper is gone. Now I just have to wait for all the paper to dry and I'll vacuum out my washing machine!

I found a trick that helps me remove the paper easier. Maybe it will work for you too. I hold sections of the quilt in each hand about 15" -18" apart, and make a 'pedaling' motion with my hands gently a few inches apart. It helps tear all the paper loose so I can grab it easier. Do not rub the sections together, or you may get block distortion.

If I was doing a smaller quilt I might have had more patience LOL
