COwen, I think that is just a beautiful view. I think they have some stuff that you can put on or have it put on professionally that cut the sun light, UV stuff, but you don't lose the view. I'd have to do something, I think. You have a wonderful place to imagine beautiful quilts to put together. I feel a little green monster peeking around my shoulder. :) I am thankful everyday for what I've been blessed with though, and I have a window that faces the west, but I see from 2nd story through trees to corn fields or soybeans. Yeah not much in imaginative designs going on there. :) Bethy
