I believe the look I was going for will come together. I used the Batiste Semi-sheer curtain panels in 'yellow' to be paired with the burgundy scarf topper. I would have gone with 'matching' scarf had it been available but the burgundy picks up accent colors in our dining room and adds a richness to the window treatment. By NO means is the scarf able to hang down as pictured. My window is 40-ish in width and it will only hang down about half way on each side. However this will work out fine for our window treatment. I just need to get the 'knack' for placing the scarf and deal with a rod that is not exactly as it should have been.
