Can't wait to see the finished window. Looks pretty great already.

Sewnoma (Hahah, and I just realized you can see ME in this photo! Best selfie ever. LOL) No, Sewnoma, I thought you had captured the image of an angel (reflection in the window). LOL

That is just too cool! Clever, clever, clever!

That is so clever!! I love that! :thumbup:

I love this!!! What a neat idea!! and love the selfie, too. I didn't know about faux leading. Hmmmm...Please show us your finished product?

love that idea!!!!

Well I have discovered that unfortunately my elbow really does NOT LIKE this process. I think it's all the scribbling back and forth to spread the paint that is doing me in. I have been getting a lot of pain so I've taken a few days off from this process before I cause myself some actual damage. It looks horrible right now, not even halfway done, but I have lots of other projects needing attention too so I've had to take a break. (The parts that are done look pretty good, though...)

So, like so many quilts that I start....this one is (temporarily!) a UFO, LOL. One that the WHOLE NEIGHBORHOOD can see, so I'm definitely motivated to finish it. My neighbors probably hate me right now...my blinds for the big front window came but they had been damaged in transit so I'm waiting for replacements, and in the meantime my DH has blocked up our front window with cardboard. It looks like we're crazies who are preparing for alien invasion! I'm just waiting for the cops to come by and make sure we're not cooking drugs in the living room or something. Gahh!

Sewnoma, this is such a cool idea. I know it's too late, but if I were doing this, I think I would have a piece of acrylic cut to fit the space exactly. Then it could be painted flat on a table - much less stressful to joints, etc. and paint would not run. When it's dry it could be fitted into the window frame. Just a thought if someone else is considering this.

This is awesome. Will look forward to seeing how you finish it.

They actually make "blanks" that you can use - if you use liquid leading only (and not the sticky strips I used) you can supposedly paint it all flat and then just peel it up and stick it on the window - basically a home made static cling. But I wanted those straight lines, and I knew it was POSSIBLE to do it vertically...just not easily and probably not the smartest way either, LOL.
