French Braid Valance

I have just completed. 2 pictures show with light coming thru and the last picture is with the blind closed but colors seems faded. I still have 1 more panel to do as a tablerunner.

How pretty.........just a suggestion...get some muslin and back these. It will enable them to last longer and not fade so fast. The sun is brutal and you have the reflection off the snow. Your work will fade quickly with all of that brightness going on.

That is gorgeous!
Is it hung by a sleeve sewn onto the backing or is the backing itself stitched with a 'tunnel' for the curtain rod to go through?
Thanks for posting this; it'd add interest to any room, especially a sewing area.
