For the Roman Shade, just sew pockets on the outside back of the quilt (like you would for hanging a quilted wall hanging) about every eight or 10 inches. Sew the tape with cafe curtain plastic circles, then run your curtain cord through the loops at each pocket edge. You'll be able to raise it and lower it for light into the room and it will keep it from fading or falling apart from drying out in the sun.
It's really not as hard to do as it sounds and you can use dowel rods from hardware store in the pockets to make it fold up. You could always use a good quality flannel to line your quilt for summer and winter. That is light weight and would give you more flexibility maybe.
Good sewing vibes off to you by mail!
