The top one is upsidedown and reads Khalid Shawl. It is a prayer rug, and belonged to somebody named Khalid. The blue, which is stunning, is also a prayer rug. They are hand woven and took days to make.
Please don't cut them up. They are treasures as they are.

The red one is much larger almost twin blanket size. . And now you said shawl I could see I had it upside down and backward. :-)
The size of this one is 44x84 I found prayer shawls online and they seem to be bigger length 108"
The thing is if I cannot use these I do not have the room to keep them.

I agree with quiltingfan, somewhat. I would never have thought about cutting them up to make something beautiful as being offensive. I just wish that all those who we are worried about 'offending' would be just as worried about 'offending' the rest of us.
