I like the effect of these curtains.  I ordered one panel which was exactly as pictured and the quality was as expected so I ordered 2 more.  I have never worked with window scarves and this was a challenge for me.  I tried several different applications and ultimately decided on soft and simple.  I did use double sided tape to secure fabric to achieve the color variation I wanted which worked great.  For the valence a friend suggested gathering the ends and use a rubber band to facilitate the draping. Excellent suggestion.  Very different look for me but I really like soft sheer variations while still remaining fairly neutral.
