    If you have a newspaper office in your town, that is a good source for foundation piecing paper. Usually they will give you the ends of the rolls of newsprint with a little left on the roll, for free.

    After you get past an initial learning curve paper-piecing is great fun. You did a great job on yours. Will look forward to a picture of the finished quilt. I like your idea of inexpensive paper. Some kinds of paper from the medical supply store also work well.

    Love your star - the colors really pop! I have been through Midlothian several times and love the town. How lucky you are to live there!
