Oh this is just wonderul! I love that you used it for a window treatment. How great to have a work of art in an otherwise boring spot.

Gorgeous! I sure hope it doesn't fade. Quilting fabric isn't treated with ultraviolet protection like home dec fabric is.

Fading can be a problem, however go to your local hardware store and get a roll of the window treatment that you peel and stick on the window. It cuts out as much as 98% of the ultraviolet rays. We have it on all our windows and what a difference it does make in cutting down on sun damage to carpeting, furniture, etc. Nice thing about it is that it can be removed very easily, just pull and off it comes.
Our quilt is a very nice window treatment idea!

Beautiful!!!

Looks great to me just the way it is and since it is your quilt/window covering you get to do what ever you want to with it. :)

Sandee 02-28-2011 04:59 PM

Very pretty & perfect solution! It really does look like stained glass!

Stitchit123 02-28-2011 05:12 PM

Don"t ya just love it when a project unintentionally fixes a decor problem :thumbup:

stitchofclass2 02-28-2011 05:25 PM

Really love it! I want to do something like this. Years ago, I took a class on reverse quilting and I loved the way light shown through the colored pieces. Love, love, love yours!

Karo 02-28-2011 06:02 PM

wow...that is really striking

catlover 02-28-2011 07:00 PM

What a nice idea. I'd be afraid of fading if it gets sun. But, it looks great in the window. You are so talented.
