    It's Hobbs Thermore wadding (sorry, batting!) and I SITDed only through the vertical seams. I think that made a difference. I used those little curtain rings with the clips about every 4" and it hangs in folds really well. Plus I didn't have to sew on curtain tape - nice n easy does it, everytime! :mrgreen: Quick to take down and wash too! 8)

    I'm definitely going to make curtains like this when we convert the attic - we want to keep the windows that are all ready up there because they're original but only single glazed; so they'll get the quilted treatment! :D

    Izy just for you, here's a pic of the wall hanging of 'our house'!

    The backing was an 108" wide Portobello Market http://www.fatquarterworld.com/quilt...JJCEANMAIIHBGF

    The navy and dark red were Moda 'Kansas Troubles' and the gold was a Benartex, I'm sorry I don't know the name and can't remember where I got it. :oops:

    It looks great. The colors are just perfect.

    Since everyone else has been admiring your wall hanging, I will tell you son #2 is admiring your hats! Isn't funny what catches different people's attention in pictures?

    :lol: The red woolly one is my winter one and the black with lots of white thin stripes is my gardening hat - the rest are Hans' and he DOES wear them all - though not at the same time, obviously! :D

    Great curtain K. I need a couple of those in my kitchen just for the winter and have been looking at thermal ones, but can't find any I like. I may copy your idea! Thanks!
