Also, I used 2" strips for the window frame which worked for this one, since it is the panel was quite large, but if I do another one with a more delicate picture, I will probably use smaller window strips.
I plan to make this one also but am not sure how you adjusted for the seams on the picture. You trimmed the panel down...what does that mean? Sorry to be dense but would really like to understand how you got it so well balanced. Why did the 2" strips work better? Great work! Thanks for your reply.
