When they are down I can also use them as a way to audition my blocks. When I need fabric I can just roll up the shades. Works well.
Duh! Why didn't I think of that! My sewing room is on the second floor of a Cape Cod house, hip walls and all. I use a six foot set of rolling shelves (three sides covered) for storage, using a sheet as a "door" to access my fabric. I've been lamenting that I don't have a wall for a design board. The answer has been staring me in the face all along! Thanks, Sewing Grandma!!
