I’m an absolute beginner quilter, and I love this video! I love that you showed and explained everything step by step and very clear. This will be a perfect project for all my sewing scraps. 🧡
The newspaper is key. When yu try this type of random piecing, like crazy quilting, without a tear away foundation, over running the piece underneath becomes an issue, but by being able to tear away and trim, well, it makes all the difference. Thanks so much for the video.
If you use interfacing instead of paper for the foundation, you can leave the interfacing in place - which would give more stability to the block when it is incorporated into the final project, whilst adding a little bit more weight.
The paper does need to come off at some point. Some people keep it on until it gets sewn into a quilt. I prefer to take mine off right away. Hope that helps

Great tutorial. Thank you. I am confused about one thing (I’m a quilting newbie, sorry.) What did you do with the paper on the back? Did you leave it there or did you pull it out? Thanks.
If you use some fabric interfacing instead of paper, you can leave the interfacing in, and it helps to stabilize all those dodgy little seams. Interfacing is used for garment construction to strengthen facings, etc) - there are a lot of different weights to choose from,varying from very heavy to very light.
