Birthday banner

I've been wanting to do some kind of birthday banner to use at work for a long time. I finally found a pattern I like when I was at the International Quild Festival in Ireland. I've sewn the binding down on two by hand, but now I 'm wondering if fusible wouldnt work just as well. 15 letters could take a lot of time for something people won't see when it's hung up. I will ponder

It is going to be really cute, I think.
