Log cabin napkins

I doubled the 8/2 non mercerized cotton in a 12 dent heddle on the Emilia and wove 5 luncheon sized napkins.  I expected to find it difficult to beat the weft in place but it went very smoothly.  It took a few shots before I developed a rhythm for changing sheds and shuttles.  It also took a little experimentation to catch the selvedge thread on each pick.  Once I figured it out, all went smoothly.

I may weave more squares the same size and do some pick-up then sew them all together for a lightweight afghan.  My Emilia is only 13" wide so it limits the size of what I am weaving.  I like the way the log cabin pattern turned out and the napkins are really soft.
