Quilting Can Save Energy in Your House
Of course you probably already know that covering up with a quilt can keep you warm. Did you also know it can keep your house warmer, too. I found this site, Econogics, that does consulting to help business be more environmentally friendly. One of their pages discusses quilted panels for the windows that you put up once the sun is no longer beaming through the windows. They have backed them in unobtrusive, plain fabrics so that the neighbors won’t complain but you can put whatever design you want on the front.
Now that Labor Day is over that means winter is just around the corner which means it is time to get the house winterized and what a great way to do it by making quilted insulated window coverings. I already cover my daughter’s bedroom windows with colorful fleece. Our bedrooms are on the north side of the house and her room seems to always be the coldest followed by mine. I may just have to piece together a few of these with her favorite fabrics I haven’t done anything with yet. I also have batting that is used for potholders that would probably keep the heat in the house better. It would also be a great way to use up those odds and ends or test blocks especially if you are not concerned about the design.
