    Wow. Great idea. Picture?

    I have a friend that says she uses her quilting fabric as insulation in her basement where the sewing room is. That way it all does double duty and she doesn't feel guilty about buying more

    That is nice. I have made door quilts for my home, it really helps with the heat and cold.

    Tell the quilt police to mind their own business. There are bed quilt, crib quilt, table quilts and wall quilts to name a few, so why shouldn't there be window and door quilts. I love mine.

    That is a great way to show off the quilt and have it being useful all in one whack. Nice job.

    What you fail to mention is when the light shines through the quilt it lights up and looks beautiful beyond words!!
    Great idea...word to the wise however, fabric + sun = fading but thats ok, I do believe it is serving an important purpose. Great idea
