Average Customer Ratings:

The bed is the first obvious place for quilts, followed closely by the wall. But how often have we seen them adorning the windows? As we learn from Pieced Roman Shades, quilts can make wonderful window treatments, at times resembling a rich tapestry curtain, and at other times evoking the magical appearance of stained glass. With excellent directions and extensive charts and colored diagrams, author Terrell Sundermann teaches us exactly how to create "window hangings," her combination of a wall hanging and a Roman shade. She explains all the details of construction, the practicalities of hanging and hardware, and the procedures for laying out a design and calculating the yardage. Four step-by-step projects walk us through all the specifics of producing three hangings and one valance design. Experienced quilters with the patience for very precise cutting and piecing (remember--with the sun shining through these hangings, every seam and corner join will be on exhibit) should enjoy this opportunity to create quilts geared to a new type of display. --Amy Handy

CUSTOMER REVIEWS:

a wonderful must-have quilt book -
A great book for quilters looking to display thier quilts in new ways. This book is very detailed so that you can create accurate and wonderful roman shades that help to insulate your windows. A great buy that I have refered to many, many times to make the roman shades that I now have in my house.

A quilter's delight! -
Terrell Sundermann's Pieced Roman Shades tells how to transform traditional quilt patterns into roman shades for the home. Quilters who want more practical display applications for their projects will relish new ideas on making practical window hangings out of quilt designs. Highly recommended.

What a beautiful way to cover a window! -
The author explains in clear words and many helpful diagrams how to design and construct a Roman shade from a quilt top. This is just the kind of book that makes you say, "Why didn't I think of this?" Then, once you have a look at the instructions and photos, you realize that she has done her research thoroughly and combined the best practices of quilting and of shade construction.

The book includes instructions for making several Roman shades and a valance. It also teaches you how to adapt your own favorite quilt pattern to make a shade for any size window. The math is kind of complicated but just takes a little time to understand. If you can quilt or make a Roman shade, you can do this.

Although I have made many Roman shades and a few quilts, this book provides ideas, instructions, and tips that make it worth every cent and more.
