I have a great and loving family who give me endless scarves/throws, shawls for Christmas, and what do I do with them all? There is a limit to how many one can actually wear, and then I use them for throws over chairs and sofas. They can disguise boxes. But then what? What do others do with all these lovely things? Should I make them into cushions? What else does anyone suggest?

I have a drawer full of the things, I am definitely not a scarf or pashmina person. I love the look on others but when I try it I just look silly. I like the idea of including them in a quilt.

I was given a beautiful wrap-type thing for Christmas, like a huge scarf. I'll never wear it as, when it's cold, I need a coat. I've put it across the end of my bed and it looks good. Have to tuck the fringe well in or the cat plays with the dangly bits.
