Banner Project I: Tech-Mo-Logical Mockup

That "needle" is actually a squished Florida.  For some reason, OmniGraffle has all 50 states as premade objects you can stick in.  Don't ask me

Above you can see the mockup, the wireframe if you will, of the banner charges.  I wanted to get, at the very least, some notion of how many daisies were under discussion, and more specifically what sort of spacing and alignment would work.  It is rather regimentally regular, but what I see in the period depictions (at least in arms rolls) seems to go in that direction.

New concern: getting the bar to the edge of the fabric and making it flush and tidy without unsightly bumping or blue peek-a-boos.

Sudden inspiration: oooh, why not have a heavy decorative cord along the sides and bottom of the banner, and use that to attach ground fabric + lining + the bend together, in the way tablet weaving was used in 14th century purses and buttonhole edges?

Nothing Is Ever Easy: That means I have to slot in a garment center run.
