Pieced Roman Shades? You Bet!

I am finally redoing the windows in the downstairs of my house. We are approaching 9 years at this location, and the front window in the living room has a pair of sarongs hung there, and all the other windows have the "original" plastic pull-shades, which may have once been white, but are now yellow and gray from smoke from the fireplace and just being probably over 20 years old.

It was also an excuse to purchase some amazing peacock panels from eQuilter.com. I'm using 2 of them, one in the living room and one in the dining room, and making plain shades for the other 5 windows,  because I want to get these finished in a timely manner and the budget is very tight for redecorating.

So I fired up EQ7 and got to designing. this is what I'll be making.
