   Landscape fabric stops most weeds with no bark, but there are a few problems with it. First, it is ugly as home made sin- you want to cover it up. Second, even though water can soak through it, rain tends to run off in a thunderstorm. Mulch helps slow the rain down and soak in. Third, most landscape fabric is black, and mulch helps keep the soil cool and moist in summer heat.Does the mulch need to be four inches deep? Only if you’re using cheap landscape fabric.Would it take 11 or 12 inches of bark to stop weeds without fabric? Yes, bermuda grass and quack grass can even work their way through a foot of mulch. But four inches of mulch will suppress 90% of the weeds.

   No such beast. Use an eyemask and/or blackout shades.

   Cute! For each block you’d need 6 squares, each 4 and a quarter inches. (or, the size block you want, plus a quarter inch.) Baste them to a sew-in interfacing, then sew them together using a quarter inch seam. Leave an opening for turning and stuffing. Clip the corners before you turn the blocks right side out. Stuff them hard because the stuffing does compact after a while. Or you could even cut foam blocks to stuff it with. Then just sew the opening shut by hand, using double thread. Forgive me if you already know this, but the most accurate way to cut is with a rotary cutter and quilter’s ruler or quilter’s square – not scizzors! If your squares are off, your blocks won’t be blocks.

   That’s what the double-rods are for – sheers underneath heavier drapes. Open the heavier (more light-blocking) drapes during the day, yet keep the sheers closed – they do provide a bit of privacy, yet let the most light in. Close the heavier drapes at night. I prefer this to blinds & whatever else – it’s so much easier to toss them into the washer when they get dirty and they just look more “finished” than the other options, but that’s my opinion.

   I think they’re called “color bars”. Here’s a page with an explanation of them:http://help.adobe.com/en_US/InDesign/6.0/WSa285fff53dea4f8617383751001ea8cb3f-7088a.html

   Impossible to answer. You have 2 different fabrics, maybe, for each block, and an undetermined fabric (of your choice) for the “boarder”, and a third for the backing. You have to do the arithmetic yourself. We can’t.

   Mama Kim is absolutely right!Check with your local linen outlet, they often have odd size sheets on sale for just a $1.50! We decorated my daughters room with them, all sorts of colors, fuchsia, turquoise, yellow, different color for every window.
