I'd collected them over the years to put together one of Kayla Kennington's Paris evening coats, or Panel Tops but, (let's all chime in together) I never got around to it.
Looking over my collection, though, I realized I really didn't want to sell it; there are too many pretties! And I would never get back the money I've invested in all these scarves.
Admittedly, most were purchased for a few dollars at either Goodwill or Value Village, but I've amassed them over a period of probably 10 years.
What should I make from all these luxurious snippets of Devore velvet?

Oh, you have some pretty pieces there! I think you should go ahead with your original plan and make a coat, but you could maybe make a wall-hanging, a pieced shawl or a quilt out of the remnants? They look so good together.
That fabric-swap thing sounds really fun! Like a giant ugly-fabric swap :) Is that when Karin is visiting you?
Ha, I challenge you to work on the pieces for 15 minutes a day! I bet you can come up with some fabulous results!
hello annika
i love your blog and look at it often. Make a coat or top as you first planned as they go together so well.
