Of course, there's no quilt police ... do what works best for you!

I just cut all my foundation blocks the same size - and then - started pulling fabric out of my scrap bin. Making sure I ended up covering the entire foundation -
Then I trimmed to size - embroidered all the seams and VOILA!
It was fun and fast. I think the best part was - I didn't have to think about evenness, or matching points etc....

I'm a crazy quilter and think part of the beauty is the randomness. If you do a search online you'll find lots of tutorials. I use muslin for the foundation. That being said, there really are no rules. So, if you like the paper-piecing, no problem. (PS..They are great books on the subject, probably at your local library...)

I have bought the deli type paper from costco and used that as the base for crazy squares. I haven't done enough to put them together in a quilt yet, but it's fun to sit and rip out a few rectangular squares every now and then. The paper is really cheap and it also works well to cover stuff in the nuke!
