it is not paper pieced, it is designed on paper back fusable, fused to fabric, cut out and fused onto background fabric...no paper peicing involved...some people are just looking at it as a 'cheater-paper piecing' technique...has nothing to do with paper peicing...

I love your quilt so much (and I seldom "copy"), I couldn't remember what you called it and I had to start a new post last night to get the info and save it!!

i use my 6" fiskar scissors, they are sharp to the point and work great, i thought my embroidery scissors were too small to cut these out and pretty much baby my embroidery scissors, i love them so much...i only do little snips with them...(the stork ones) i have a little bitty pair of very sharp 1 1/2 " scissors my daughter picked up at Michaels one day that would probably work great...they are just never where i need them. the fiskar's are always within reach...
and i think i have a couple pictures of other blocks i've used the same technique on...i'll try to locate them

if it is going to be washed you have to stitch your appliques down just like any fused applique. i tend to be 'lazy' about some stuff and at times will wait and stitch them down and quilt at the same time instead of stitching them all down then quilting... but they do need to be stitched unless it is just a wall hanging that will not be washed (unless of course you know about a permenent fusable that does not require any sewing???) i think i would still be apt to stitch; i hate my quilts coming apart :)

Thanks for the info.....I'm not good at zig zag stitch.Maybe someday
they'll come up with a fusible that never has to be sewn down.
We can hope.
