WOW! You are energetic! lol Is this two quilts? Will you put them on a bypass rod so one will slide over the other if you want to use the door?

It is beautiful and does look like stained glass. I think I would be keeping them there year round

sewlo, I love them. Talk about looking like stain glass, these do. Are all your strips the same size? I have never like these type of blocks because the distraction in the center because all the strips do match, but yours is different. It must be because you have added the black sashing between each block. I have all kinds of small strip, I am going to use this technique for make quilts for a large picture window.
Did you quilt them and how did you hange them?

It also good for the summer for the east, west and south side to keep the sun from warming up the house.

Beautiful way to keep warm and show off lovely quilts at the same time.

Now that is a clever idea! Very beautiful strip quilts, and a very practical use.

I love the stained glass look. Thank you for sharing.

Reminds me of stained galss windows. Beautiful work!! The black really makes the blocks sparkle!

My BIL placed screws in a 2x4 that we placed over the woodwork of the sliders, we then hung Hang-Ups over the screws, then hung the quilts. On a nice day I fold the middle sections back which allows plenty of sunlight. I also have a regular door to use so I am not stuck using the slider all the time. The quilts were quilted by Charisma!!!

Fabulous idea. Color and warmth.

Beautiful...I was reading an article published in some newspaper, I think it was called The Telegraph, that a woman was making stained glass quilt blocks to cover broken window panes in a church...looked really nice as does yours..

What a great idea - how did you hang them?

Sue Wagley-Thompson 01-12-2013 06:03 AM

Just beautiful......I hope to make a acrappy quilt this year based on this look!

bestjlb 01-12-2013 06:07 AM

Beautiful! For those of you who have hung quilts where they are exposed to sunlight, what do you do to prevent the fabrics from fading?

solstice3 01-12-2013 06:28 AM

Love the colors... Great idea

MaggieLou 01-12-2013 06:45 AM

I love the look. I love stained glass. Did you use batting in the quilt?

carolynjo 01-12-2013 06:49 AM

That is a wonderful idea! They look like stained glass and the effect is so uplifting.

wolph33 01-12-2013 07:00 AM

ccthomas 01-12-2013 07:28 AM

Warmth and beauty at the same time. Good Job! Possibly a fireplace that is not used could be adapted to this concept also.

dcamarote 01-12-2013 07:40 AM

Now that is what I call creative! What a great idea and it is beautiful to look at.

Gorgeous! It looks like a stained glass window. Very impressive.

It really does look like stained glass! This is gorgeous and a great idea for winter!

TXAggiemom 01-12-2013 11:07 AM

Very nice...love the look!!

sewlo 01-12-2013 12:27 PM

I used batting with muslin as backing. I am not sre what I am going to do about the fadin issue, I could hang a flannel sheet on the back side, any thoughts?

MaggieLou 01-12-2013 12:44 PM

I'm not sure it would fade too much with batting between. I don't think the muslin would fade.

debbieoh 01-12-2013 01:26 PM

Looks like stain Glass windows. Great job
