Kanaan's New Shades

My son chose "dragons" as his theme for his new room. First to be completed are Roman Shades for the corner window. Next will be the bed quilt and stenciling on the walls...

Kanaan has a double corner window
that faces East and South. Great for lots
of light, but hot during the Summer.

I made these from 54" Batik Panels and pieced
with Batik Cotton. I used Warm Window insulated
shade fabric for the backing.

Roman Shades will retain their pleats after just a little "training". The warm window fabric is quilted in rows so it great for this style of shade!

(Apparently my flash was confused by the light from the window)!

Detail of the shades. I used a small border of coordinating Clouds Mottled Periwinkle and Mountains Blues as the remainder. Kanaan's favorite color is of course blue.
