Paper Piecing is a quilting technique that ensures accuracy, even with very small pieces of fabric.
Following the paper design , you sew the pieces of fabric & paper together, open the sewn seam, & press.
After completing a square using this 'sew & flip' technique, you remove the paper, leaving just the fabric.
