Christe made these shades for her daughter's bedroom. The window is 73" wide and 40" long, so each of the shades is 37.5" by 40". The pattern is a scrappy star block (5" with a 1-1/2" strip on the top or bottom) across the top, with a great bright blue fabric for the rest of the shade. (That is NOT a valance on the top. Christe pieced the top portion of the shade itself.

The shades are mounted right under a shelf that tops the window. Look carefully at the photographs, the bright yellow-green in the lower part of the window are leaves on the trees outside.
