I also thought of putting up a quilt on my french doors for the winter except it would block out my sunlight. My sewing room (quilt studio) is on north side of house and it has been a little chilly in eastern Washington lately. We did 16 inch block of the month with whatever fabric I had in my stash but haven't put it together, maybe there is a way I could make it so I could take it down on really sunny days.
