self binding napkins

We've had a great crop of new babies in the past year, so I've been making self binding receiving blankets like a factory. I had some metallic marble that I bought as a remnant and had the probably not very original idea to use the same process for table napkins. I put the metallic with a mottled black and turned out four napkins in no time. Family members may get tired of these soonl

I looked up self binding blankets. Here is the site - www.pieceandquilt.com. Great directions as well as pictures. I've been looking for something easy to make for an auction at my husband's men's club Christmas party and the napkins fit the bill. I've got tons of Christmas fabric that I can use up.
