I love those and think they are so pretty. I keep saying every year that I'm going to make some but never do. Perhaps I should set a goal to do enough for one room each year. I think that would be a good goal and sure would make the rooms warmer. Thanks for the reminder.

Pretty! I saved that so I can try some for next winter. (unless I get really motivated and try this year lol)

I really like this idea! Our bedroom is really drafty, and I bet a couple of these would really help

Those are very lovely but I wouldn't want to hang those up in the daytime because the sunlight is an enemy to the colors in the quilt and it wouldn't take long to fade.

These are nice but the one thing I've found if you put blankets/quilts over windows and the windows frost us, the blankets freeze to the windows. Ask me how I know!!!

Even if you put plastic over your windows and your curtains touch the plastic, you'll find condensation of the plastic.

CJ - How would these do if you were to hang them over the window blinds? That's what I was thinking of doing when/if I make some. All of our windows have blinds and rather than put the window quilt inside I was thinking of just hanging it up on outside (in the bedroom) side of the blinds. Hope that makes sense!
