Thanks again Susan for some good tips. Another thing I don't really like 
about window quilts (that fold like blinds) is the room the fold takes 
at the top of the window. The windows in the greenhouse don't have any 
room to spare at the top; they'd be permanently shaded even more than 
the low soffit already does. Probably not so bad if this was Dixie. :)
