I have never used paper. I've done one string quilt and I used muslin squares for the foundation. The paper you are using looks nice and thin, easy to tear away. Do you prefer to use paper instead of muslin?
Probably, but I hope to compare notes soon! This will be a fun one I think! Upon close inspection, it appears you used waxed paper?? I did find more string quilt tuts, and have spent plenty of time studying the different ones.
I don't like tearing away paper, but I used dryer sheets once and they were almost impossible to quilt, so paper it is. Lillian lillianscupboard.wordpress.com

Would you like to start the list, or shall I? : )
ReplyDeleteI hate doing it, after spending a night ripping it off a lot of blocks, I make sure to do it as soon as the block is finished and trimmed.
ReplyDeleteYes, there are more exciting things.....
ReplyDeleteLol ok that brought a chuckle

Scrubbing toilets, cleaning out the fridge, emptying the cats' litter boxes...shall I continue?
ReplyDeleteLOL! Pretty block, though. xo
ReplyDeleteI do love the results of paper piecing... but the ripping? Not so much.
ReplyDeleteHugs!
I actually like to remove the paper as long as the seams hold together!!
ReplyDeleteI have always used muslin which a heavy block. Your paper looks like parchment, is it?

I make those blocks QAYG - the backing & batting are the foundation; no need to remove and the quilting already done for you!
