Attic Windows with Valerie Nesbitt
Classes with Valerie Nesbitt • Educational, G, 29-May-2020
A simple illusion
You can achieve the visual illusion of looking through a window simply by the use of a light and a dark fabric and using a 45 degree angle where they meet similar to a mitred corner. Valerie shows you how you can achieve this with the simple help of the iron to press in the crease. So no need to panic.

Vicky Munday has made this lovely example of an Attic Windows quilt. She used a pre-printed panel to which she also added two colours and then she has enhanced the windows effect with the simple quilting.
You could do something similar with a cushion panel too.
