The technique of paper piecing is far too involved to describe here. Your best option would be to go to a site such as the Carol Doaks page linked below, and follow the instructions there. Quite a few different paper-pieced blocks are called "Scrappy" and "Rainbow" depending on the fabrics and colors chosen for that particular block. Again, your best resource would be one of the paper piecing books available through a quilting shop, or through one of the on-line quilting sites.
