As I scooped up the last handfuls of fallen petals from my most beautiful ever tulip bouquet, I could not seem to convince myself that they were done blooming. So i placed them into a favorite white ware bowl so as to honor them just a bit longer. Then I happened to notice. . .they matched some napkins I had just made from scraps of fabric.
Double-Sided, Mitered-Corner Napkins. When I wanted to refresh my memory about the technique I learned some years ago, I did a search and found a great guide for making them and best of all, it told you how to adapt measurements to make your desired size. This way I was able to use a larger piece and also the smaller pieces that were left over. Stitching up utilitarian homey things was so fun.

Click on this blog, QUILTED STRAIT, for the very useful napkin tutorial. Happy Stitching!
Its funny how a combination of colors can suddenly pop up again and again in a short time, letting you know that it was meant to be. Its calling to be noticed. Those petals are beautiful - satiny. Will have to try those mitered corners soon.
