Patriotic Napkins



Whenever I see holiday themed fabric on sale, I usually buy it.  I love making holiday themed quilts.   However lately I have been making holiday themed cloth napkins.  Yesterday and today I made these patriotic cloth napkins.  There are 6 napkins in each 10" x 10" set, and two 5" x 10" napkins in each set. Thats a total of 16 napkins.  The reason why there are so few smaller napkins is because they are what was left over after cutting the 10" squares of fabric.  Here is my video on how to make these napkins.   In the video I make 5" x 10" napkins.  Slowly I am adding to the amount of cloth napkins in my home.  These small napkins are nice.  You can use them, then just toss them in the wash.  They don't take up any room in the washing machine, and they are very durable.
