Fold the paper out of the way once you know how long a piece to add. By the time you've folded it out of the way a couple times it's really easy to tear that one line to remove the papers.Barb in Smithershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02556966339140209758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4946570039091050776.post-65913023439635926982011-12-04T06:13:19.167-05:002011-12-04T06:13:19.167-05:00The blocks look fabulous.
