They are all 5" x 7" & Aida is low cost. If I were doing this, I would make it long & narrow like a banner. From EXS that would mean 2 ft of white 14 ct Aida for the length. Then cut for the width a strip 11 inches. This would make a piece of cloth 11" x 24", giving 2" borders for mounting. This is a terrific price for kits, even small kits.

lpnbarnes go with jlhewes suggestion because she has the right idea on how to do it. A long banner would be beautiful. Since I am also a quilter another suggestion would be to stitch each one and then put a coordinating strip of cotton fabric between each one and around the long edge to make a longer banner. I have done this with several banners over the years.

Great ideas! Thanks! I never even thought about a banner; I was thinking of (let's see how do I do this in a post?) doing them........ Offset of each other..... Making more of a rectangle...? I can't put it into words what I'm picturing......sorry.

I made a mistake on the length for a banner. The designs are each 5" high. I forgot to leave space between, above & below the designs. Also, a banner needs extra fabric on top for the rod, & extra below if you want it pointed. So sorry! The old math block kicks in now & then.
