Be sure to wash, dry, and iron your fabric before beginning.
Cut fabric into 17 inch squares using a rotary cutter. Each yard of fabric will produce four squares, for a total of 8 squares to make four napkins.
If you don't have a rotary cutter, simply cut out a 17 inch square using freezer paper, pin to the fabric, and cut out.
Take 2 pieces of fabric, one of each pattern, and line them up right sides together. Pin around the edges every few inches.
Starting in the middle of one side and using a 1/4 inch seam allowance, stitch all the way around the fabric, stopping 3 to 4 inches before where you started, leaving an opening.
Using fabric scissors, trim threads and cut the tips off of each corner, being careful not to cut into the stitches.
Turn fabrics right side out through the opening, taking care to push the corners out well.
Using an iron, press all the way around the fabric. Make sure to tuck under the edges of the opening and press.
Using fabric pins, pin closed the opening.
With a 1/8 inch seam allowance, topstitch all the way around the edges of the napkin, making sure the opening gets closed.
Repeat to make remaining napkins. Clean in washing machine with towels, no need to iron.
