I was thinking a 4" white stripe and a 1 1/2" navy stripe? maybe? I want these to look right! Maybe a 6" white stripe instead?
I have a die cut machine to cut the strips, so this doesn't sound as involved as it would be if I were rotary cutting. I just want to get it right.
Please help! thanks for any advice!

Hi, Rose
How much fabric do you need for your curtains? I have some fabric that will work for you. I got it from JoAnn's 3-4 yrs. ago and is pinstripe. I have almost 3 yds. and a remnant of the same of 22 ins. There's nothing on the selvage edge, so I don't know who makes it, but I do still have the remnant in the wrapper with the article #755-9594. I also have two pcs. of Robert Kaufman fabric of opposite stripes both pcs. are 1 1/2 - 2 yds. and has "Patroits" on the selvage. Will this help you? I don't know how to post pics.(my DD will be visiting from IN. next week to show me), but you can pm me if you're interested in it. You could use the RK fabric for valances. Dennise
thank you for the kind offer! I think I need about 12 yards. I have several windows.
