someone on another thread mentioned if you use a larger needle, sometimes those larger holes make it easier to remove the paper? What a great way to use scraps :)

I've already stitched around the edge of the scrappy border. Here are some more pics.
I'm planning on putting it as part of the border on a scrappy quilt made up of scrappy crazy 6.5" squares. The rest of the quilt is done.

I think you should have omitted the stitching around the edge - You will find it a lot more difficult to remove the paper.
When paper-piecing, I use stitch length 2.0 on my Janome and the paper removes very easily. Sometimes I put a small ruler along the line of stitching before tearing away the paper so that there's not too much 'pull' on the stitching.
I have read that the stitch length can be as small as 1.5 but have never tried this.
