I've been looking for simple, no fuss instructions for patchwork curtains and yours are spot on, thank you.<br />Love from another Vix at ShabbyShe.wordpress.com xAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4868048249049410936.post-4073601592414186482012-09-25T12:02:08.282+01:002012-09-25T12:02:08.282+01:00Your patchwork curtains are lovely, and the shoe b...Your patchwork curtains are lovely, and the shoe box is a brilliant size, kind of giant subway tile proportions.<br />However, if you don't line them and they are in a sunny window they probably will fade very quickly. You can get thin lining that lets the light through(I have some in my living room), don't use a sheet. This is one time when buying something new to protect all your work and beautiful fabric is worthwhile. I also recommend spraying them with a uv protector for fabric, front and back. Sorry to be a flat tire, its just that I've had favorite fabrics fade to my great disappointment!<br />Kathy concretenprimroseshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12615278788874155439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4868048249049410936.post-31200927037116184722012-09-22T23:28:10.718+01:002012-09-22T23:28:10.718+01:00Magnificent, and so inspiring.

I've always wondered what measurements you used to make the uniform rectangular squares as I love your hanging works of art SO, SO much!
