Paper patchwork summer wall display

I've posted before about making games with old calendars and more games with old calendars, and since then we've been collecting more calendars. Last weekend we decided to use one for a paper-weaving craft and make a summer wall display. We chose a calendar with flower pictures.

First we cut the pages into strips and wove them  to make squares.



Then we used the squares (taped together on the back) to make a patchwork picture.



We had one page leftover so we also made a sunflower flag.
