Thank you Sue, for the great description of how much sewing is involved 
in making window quilts. I like Gene's idea for simplicity and for the 
fact I don't own a sewing machine. There are several similar 
shutter-like examples in my book that I had long forgotten. Gene, where 
do you stash the Celotex when not in use, under the bed perhaps? This 
might be a deciding factor in my greenhouse; may have to build a big 
drawer into the crawlspace for them. Hmmm...
