A covering for an architectural opening, having a first layer with alternating relatively opaque stripes and relatively translucent stripes, and a second layer with alternating relatively opaque stripes and relatively translucent stripes. The first and second layers are positioned one behind the other, with the stripes substantially parallel. The first and second layers are movable relative to one another in a direction substantially perpendicular to the stripes. The covering also includes a series of parallel binder threads for attaching the first layer to the second layer. The binder threads run substantially perpendicular to the stripes, and thereby, one of the layers can be slid along the binder threads when moved relative to the other. The blind is preferred to be woven as a double-layer fabric.

A mounting bracket for mounting a valance to a headrail, said mounting bracket comprising: a) a clip having a longitudinally extending tongue and an arm adapted to engage a headrail; b) a slide having a longitudinally extending front surface adjustably mounted to said tongue to allow for relative longitudinal movement between said clip and said slide; and c) a connector mounted to said front surface for releasable attachment to a valance. 13. A valance and mounting bracket assembly comprising: a) a valance having a front surface, a rear surface and an elongated groove on said rear surface, said groove having a first height at said rear surface and a second height at a position inward of said surface, said second height being greater than said first height; b) a mounting bracket having an arm adapted to be mounted on a window covering headrail; and c) a cam mounted on said mounting bracket, said cam having at least a maximum diameter and a smaller minimum diameter, said cam minimum diameter being smaller than said first groove height, and said cam maximum diameter being greater than said first groove height and less than or substantially equal to said second groove height, whereby said cam may be inserted transversely into said groove and then rotated with respect to said valance to form a tight fit between said mounting bracket and said valance. 14. A valance and mounting bracket assembly according to claim 13 wherein said mounting bracket is formed with a first piece including said arm and a separate second piece including said cam, said first and second pieces being slidably movable with respect to each other to adjust the height of said valance. 15. A valance and mounting bracket assembly according to claim 13 further comprising a headrail having at least a vertically oriented front wall with an upper end, said mounting bracket arm being positioned over said headrail front wall upper end. 16. A valance and mounting bracket assembly according to claim 15 further comprising a window covering suspended from said headrail. 17. A valance and mounting bracket assembly according to claim 13 wherein said groove has a dovetail shape. 18. A valance and mounting bracket assembly according to claim 13 wherein said groove has a T-shape. 19. A method of mounting a valance on a headrail comprising: a) providing a headrail having a vertically oriented front wall with an upper end, a valance, and a mounting bracket having a clip including a longitudinally extending tongue and an arm and having a separate slide having a longitudinally extending front face adjustably mountable to said tongue for relative longitudinal movement therewith, said slide having an extension projecting from said front face; b) attaching said extension to said rear wall of said valance; c) suspending said arm of said clip downwardly over said upper end of said front wall of said headrail; and d) slidably connecting said clip to said slide. 20. The method of claim 19 further comprising adjusting the relative positions of said clip and said slide to adjust the height of said valance. 21. The method of claim 20 wherein said adjusting is in increments of approximately 1/16". 22. A method according to claim 19 wherein said valance has a front surface, a rear surface and a longitudinally extending groove on said rear surface, said groove having a first height at said rear surface and a second height at a position inward of said surface, said second height being greater than said first height; wherein said extension comprises a cam having at least a maximum diameter and a smaller minimum diameter, said cam minimum diameter being smaller than said first groove height, and said cam maximum diameter being greater than said first groove height and less than or substantially equal to said second groove height; and wherein said attaching step comprises inserting said cam transversely into said groove and then ro
