I always put the same side of the felt toward the wire from a given
strip.  I set the block flush with the block corner closest to the
wire instead of the other way to show the felt from the top.  Looks
better that way.  It is far far easier to deal with unevenly made
felts that are on the same side of the  block than the other way. 
Dampers are hard enough without making it more difficult with felts
that keep switching sides.

Just the way I do it, for what it's worth.
