Thank you! I don't think that roman shades are particularly hard to make - they are much easier than draperies! The biggest problem is finding workspace large enough to accommodate the large size. I used two of the large folding sewing tables (from Joanne's) and it managed to fit. (For the roman shade in my avatar, my husband built me a temporary table with 3 sheets of plywood to accommodate the 8' x 12' size!) I do, however, suggest starting with a smaller size to get the techniques down. I think bargello quilt tops are relatively easy to make and assemble quickly - as long as you cut and stitch carefully with scant 1/4 in seams.

Thank you so much! I think I spend a week or so (on and off) on the bargello top and another few days for the assembly. I've always been afraid to actually calculate the hours for any of my projects!

Beautiful. Did you use batting? What kind? Did you quilt it? In other words is it a quilt plus the pully cords? Again it is beautiful.

Boy, I would never attempt that because it would be a disaster when I finished. I think you are just too clever! I am REALLY impressed.

Wow beautiful, such talent. I have often thought of just making a shade and it is beyond me, so your making one out of a pattern that I would never do because its so complicated. That does take talent. Thank you for sharing.
