I like light too!!! )

I don’t lower my window quilts until afternoon when the sun starts shining in. Mine do show a small amount of light on the edges, but for the most part they block the majority of the light, which does make it pretty dark in the afternoons. But, it is worth the trade off for a cooler house and lower power bill. We only have to do this for 3 months of the year.

Thanks for the question!

I liked this idea when I saw your first post. Our living room windows are south facing and they get a TON of sun in the afternoon. My only concern is that I will lose a lot of light. I like light, especially sunlight streaming through my windows. Do the window quilts eliminate all the light?

Thanks for the explanation as well as the photos! I’m planning to make one of your window quilts for my east-facing guest room so our occasional guests won’t have the early-morning sun waking them at the crack of dawn. The window in that room is quite large, and I figure a homemade window covering will be much less expensive than going out and buying blinds. Thanks, too, for the inspiration. Blessings, Lisa
