Re: Patchwork school banner

Gosh that is really great. I love all the color. Maybe you can just serge the edges instead of hemming each one?

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.
