Gorgeous! I love that French Braid pattern, and yours is lovely! It looks like light through alabaster and amber.

That is Breath Taking. Looks like Stain Glass. Well Done.

It sure helps, doesn't it? I love the looks of your window quilt. Looks like stain glass. Is it split so you can move it aside?

That is pretty and such a clever idea.

WOW that is awesome, what a great idea !!! I agree it looks like stained glass.

coastienest 03-11-2011 05:08 AM

I never saw that idea of actually hanging it in the window. Aren't you afraid it will get faded? It looks amazing but I'm worried about the sun. Or am I dreaming and it really is not in a window?

It does look like stained glass. Beautiful and functional.

cjk 03-11-2011 05:09 AM

gorgeous

Quiltlove 03-11-2011 05:29 AM

Thanks for all the nice words. To answer a few questions.....No I did not make it so it splits and opens two ways like curtains. I plan on only using it in the winter to keep out the cold. Yes it does contain batting and the back is window curtain lining. The sun does not show through this bay window. What you see is simply daylight. This pattern is from the book French Braids. It took almost a year to complete because of working full time. The backing fabric/lining was terrible to work with and I would not attempt using it again. It stretched as I was stitching in the ditch and had to repin every seam after stitching. If I had it to do over, I would just use regular quilting cotton for the backing.
