I think you'll all agree that the 5m long community banners which appeared on York's City Walls as part of the "Dress to Impress" project were impressive. You may still have time to see them. But if not here are the ones I've seen.

The "Dress to Impress" project has been run by Emily Harvey for City of York Council and has been part of the welcome for the Grand Départ in York. The banners have been created by residents & community groups as part of a partnership project between City of York Council and the Quilt Museum and is part of the York: Be part of it programme.
As well as all the hard work done by the Community Groups who decorated their banners, a big thank you must go to volunteers at the Quilt Museum who made the banners so they could be decorated and to all those who helped to hang them on the City Walls.
Currently Emily is looking for a venue to exhibit them all together after which they will be returned to the groups that made them.
