Roman Blinds

My sister and I spent a lovely day making two roman blinds. Neither of us had made them before so the first one went really slowly, second one went swimmingly. I'm certainly going to consider making them for my conservatory although with 10 windows its going to be a big job. There is also the choice of fabric to consider, plain, patterned, a mixture of both?
The fabric my sister chose was Jane Churchill linen which she got in a sale for half its price so a real bargain. It's so pretty, I love it, not sure if I could live with it all around me in the conservatory though.
