Jeanette took my class at Quilts in the Attic in Denver in January, 1999. She had just moved into a new home and had the ambitious plan to cover most of the window with pieced Roman shades. Only one year later, she was well on her way to completing her task.

Laundry Room Log Cabin Pieced Roman Shade. This is the shade that Jeanette made in class.

By the second class, Jeanette had pieced the front of this shade for her son's bedroom

Jeanette's older daughter wanted butterflies on her shade. She machine appliquéd this great pieced Roman shade. I particularly like the way she left several of the blocks white. The shade folds on the full block.

  Jeanette's younger daughter insisted upon a Pokeman shade.

Jeanette wins the prize for the largest shade. This Bargello is 86" wide and 108" long and hangs in her dining room. She was also planning to make three more shades for the adjoining living room using the same fabrics, but with the Illusions pattern.
