I also figured a way to go a bit faster and waste a little bit less. I was cutting out piece by piece, loosely by scissors. Since I am doing a number of these blocks, I figured out how to do multiple piece cutting. Now, I'm sure that all you experienced paper piecers figured this out long ago, but I was pretty proud of myself.
I have to say, I more thoroughly appreciate you all who do intricate paper piecing! Any tips would be pretty appreciated.

I have not done any really intricate paper piecing yet, but I do enjoy it. I am not so guilty feeling about the scraps as I save them and maybe one day...eventually lol, I will do something with them! I like your stars, though :)
I knew you would get the hang of it!!
I love the sharpness of the points and spikes in paper piecing but the fabric waste and the taking the paper off is the pits!!!!!
I am not doing the 5 pointed star challenge but each time I see someone complete this block I want to do it :)
I saved the pattern for a later date though :o
Really nice star. I'm am terrified of paper piecing. Someday!
