I am desperate for advice as I need to get cracking on making curtains (sigh)- Autumn is approaching.
Two questions
1) Has anyone used good quality quilting fabric for sitting room curtains?
2) Are the extra-wide quilting fabrics of the same quality?
I experience making curtains and plan on using preshrunk cotton bump (interlining), a heavy weight lining and pencil pleat header tape.
This is the method that I have successfully used before with curtain weight fabric.

My concern is about the drape, but I cannot find any suitable premade curtains and the only curtain weight fabric I like is way out of my budget. (The room is triple aspect with two walls each with a big window and the other with the conservatory door with abutting windows so a lot of fabric is required).
There many quilting fabrics that will go with the colour scheme including some extra wide backing.
Many thanks for your input.
