Re: Patchwork school banner

Great job Melanie! The sashing worked out great, too! It will bring back
lots of memories for both the kids and their teacher. Hope someone at the
school takes a good photo before it's finally cut up.

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.

There is a photo at:

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