It is well worth it. But obviously everybody can't replace their
windows (we have an old house, so it was an easy decision..
we needed new ones). Good comment, tho in case anybody'
plans to do that in the future.

More food for thought: Plastic containers are said to be bad for any archived materials -- soemthing to do with the PH or a type of gas emitted. Seems to me that it could affect fabric in some way too. I recently removed the fabric I had (a lot) from the plastic containers and shelved them in a big closet. I even have room for more now!

I have doors on my cabinets. the unfinished items are in there also. My window is a south window and Arizona would do a number on my fabrics. I wondered the same thing about those open shelves I see. I would cover with a sheet or light weight blanket. Sun rots even our lawn furniture here.

I really don't mean to be flip, but what do you do with your quilts or other projects once they are completed? I display mine, I know that there will be light exposure, but if I hide them, how do I enjoy them? I would think as long as fabrics are not exposed to the sun's rays all day every day light itself shouldn't hurt. What do you think?
