Best blinds for tilt & turn windows??

We've inherited these on a four pane bay window and are decorating and want something other than the nets that were originally up. I'm not sure roller or venetian blinds will work as if they're fitted above the window the tilt won't work and if they're fitted to the window they'll hang down. DH thinks that vertical blinds that can be pushed to either side of the bay are probably the best option but are there any alternatives?

We have Perfect Fit roller blinds like <a class="break-all" href="http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?hl=en&safe=active&sa=X&biw=1280&bih=678&tbm=isch&prmd=imvns&tbnid=4NcMt_FXD58TqM:&imgrefurl=www.conservatoryblinds.co.uk/blinds/8/Perfect-Fit-Blinds/&docid=V7YTcHyyBwo-fM&imgurl=www.conservatoryblinds.co.uk/conservatory-blinds-images/slides/Perfect-Fit-Roller-Blind.jpg&w=632&h=355&ei=rTU2UPnXGMWt0QXutoHwBw&zoom=1&iact=rc&dur=147&sig=109607027754493980800&page=1&tbnh=99&tbnw=178&start=0&ndsp=16&ved=1t:429,r:3,s:0,i:88&tx=116&ty=74" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">this

We don't have tilt windows but do have a french doored bay window, so we didn't want blinds flapping about in the wind when the doors were open. We had a local independent blind company fit them for us, due to the precise measurements needed.

They also do pleated ones like you would have in a conservatory, but we like the roller blinds, less dusting required.

please not vertical blinds!

We have these windows upstairs and I've found them a nightmare. I've tried a roman blind but they don't fold up high enough for the window to tilt in without pulling the blind, the same with horizontal blinds. I've given up now and just have curtains :( sorry I can't help but watching with interest.

We have beautiful paper concertina blinds fitted directly to the panes. They slide up and down on strings and rails. Really look lovely
