Roman Shade - done
#54
That is completely astonishing! You took the concept of a stained glass quilt and made it real! Seriously - Make a few more, write up good instructions and lots of photos and you could publish your own book! Awesome!

More on Golden Mean
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_ratio
Considering I failed math miserably in school, I have become a huge fan of math as I have been able to apply more abstract math ideas (algebra) in real life. For example: I know that my total yardage of my shade needs to be 82x37 1/2. I need to subtract 6 inches for the bottom hem and 3 inches for the header board piece. That leaves me x amount to work in my design using the aforementioned math principles (golden mean, rule of thirds). Blah, blah, blah.
My point is that I tend to ramble...old people!
I am more than happy to post up a tutorial on how to generally make the Roman shades, how I pieced the on point blocks, and how to assemble the whole enchilada! Here is a page where you can get inspiration (her french door piece work was my inspiration) and she does sell instructions. I make mine a bit different from hers in structure, but the general principle is the same.http://www.terrelldesigns.com/Galler...d-Roman-Shades
One guy on there made 10 different ones. I follow his blog http://rickmcguire.blogspot.com/
