To create a quilted window treatment, the first step is to measure your window and its inner dimensions. You will need to add two or three inches for seam allowances. Then, purchase a piece of fabric and select a design. Once you have chosen a design, gather the other components needed to complete the project.
Window quilts are typically used on interior windows in colder climates. They provide insulation, privacy, and total light control. Because of their heavy weight, they can be difficult to lift and move. Some window quilts come with heavy-duty cord loops to make them easier to raise or lower. Window quilts can be large enough to cover six-inch-diameter windows. They provide comparable R-value increases to cellular shades, though they are less effective in warmer seasons.
A quilted window treatment consists of two layers of fabric that are held together with hundreds of stitches. These layers are usually made of cotton or polyester blend batting. In some cases, these shades can be handcrafted by sewing together the fabric pieces, or manufactured to fit a window. Whatever the method, quilted window shades make an attractive focal point in a room and offer good insulation on cold days.
Technology has made great strides in the window treatment industry. Today, approximately 30% of all treatments are motorized or automated. There are even retailers that only sell motorized treatments.
