Mother's Day Cloth Napkins

For Mother's Day this year I wanted to make something different for my mom and my sister.  After some thinking and googling I came up with making them sets of cloth napkins.  I wanted to have both sides be finished so I doubled the fabric, making one square larger than the other and then folding it over and making mitered corners.  

For Mom I did purple with red flowers on one side and then brown with flowers on the other.  

For Katie (my other sister) I made her solid on one side and then a brown bamboo like print on the other.

Since I had some scraps from making them I decided to make Katie a set of cocktail napkins too.

The cloth napkins are a finished size of almost 17" x 17".  I made them each sets of 8 (only 4 of Mom's are pictured since we used them for dinner Sunday).  The cocktail napkins are 5" x 5".  They are only a set of 6 because that is all the scraps I had left.  

Mom loved hers.  Katie will get hers next weekend when I see her.  

I am linking up to Linky Party Tuesday at Quilting by the River.
