Re: Patchwork school banner

What a gorgeous piece of art! Well done!
And don't ever let anybody "educate" that color sense out of your daughter.

Here is the banner I asked for your help with. My 8-yo daughter's class
had each painted a design onto a 1' square of fabric. The teacher wanted
me to assemble them into a banner, in such a way they could be cut up at
the end of the year, and each child given his or her own artwork back.

Someone here suggested using sashing, which I thought was a great idea. I
eventually persuaded the teacher (although I later found out she didn't
have a clue what I meant, even though I drew a sketch and everything), and
my sister Stephanie helped me assemble the banner. It took two of us a
whole day.

With my daughter's square enlarged because I'm proud of her!
