    I made these towels from yardage that I cut into fat quarters and appliqued the fronts and then added a FQ to the back and sewed right sides together leaving an opening for turning. I was very happy with the way they turned out. These are mainly for decorative use, although they can be washed in the machine on delicate/cold setting and hung to dry because some of them are embelished with buttons. Thanks a bunch for looking.

    Sandy, I really like your avatar! Is it PP? It almost looks like a very sophisticated log cabin.

    Thankyou everyone! If you do not want to make your own towels... You can always purchase some relly nice cotten towels and make up your own Ideas, The only reason I made them myself was because I did not want to see the back of the applique showing on the back of the towel and I wanted them a little heavier so they would hang nice.
