this is a great idea - I took your advice and found packages of 100 plastic page protectors in my local Costco. (I bought 2 of them) I neatly trimmed out the pages I wanted from my stash of quilt magazines and filled them into a 3" binder. All the trimmed out magazines I donated to my library. My shelves are neater and my quilt buddy at the local library is a happy camper! Thank you for this!
