I like the filmstrip setting. However are you going to decide?

But, if you spread out the white-bordered blocks I think you lose the "film-strip" pattern.

One of the reasons for the strip for binding is it looks scrappy, and for the backing it would be harder to get centered so the strips don't get of balanced. You would loose the polka dot in a binding.<br />What a great addition to the Angel Tree program, it's practical as well as fun. So many need more then toys.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00823051999062711901noreply@blogger.com
