It's Hobbs Thermore wadding (sorry, batting!) and I SITDed only through the vertical seams. I think that made a difference. I used those little curtain rings with the clips about every 4" and it hangs in folds really well. Plus I didn't have to sew on curtain tape - nice n easy does it, everytime! :mrgreen: Quick to take down and wash too! 8)

I'm definitely going to make curtains like this when we convert the attic - we want to keep the windows that are all ready up there because they're original but only single glazed; so they'll get the quilted treatment! :D

Izy just for you, here's a pic of the wall hanging of 'our house'!

The backing was an 108" wide Portobello Market http://www.fatquarterworld.com/quilt...JJCEANMAIIHBGF

The navy and dark red were Moda 'Kansas Troubles' and the gold was a Benartex, I'm sorry I don't know the name and can't remember where I got it. :oops:

It looks great. The colors are just perfect.

Since everyone else has been admiring your wall hanging, I will tell you son #2 is admiring your hats! Isn't funny what catches different people's attention in pictures?

What a clever idea :D You did a great job and the tie back looks good also. Maybe I should do one for our cabin :? Oh the list goes on :D

Great curtain K. I need a couple of those in my kitchen just for the winter and have been looking at thermal ones, but can't find any I like. I may copy your idea! Thanks!
