All it takes is two kitchen towels. The first pic shows the layout of the towels. Sew all four sides of the two towels together using a double seam for strength. Lay out the ties, I used one length of grosgrain ribbon and sew only the corners down very securely. You are done, it's finished! You can add 2" slip rings to each side of the ribbon for handles if you want. Slip rings are best because then you can remove them when laundering.
Square shaped towels or fabric will creat a different shape, I made an extra large one from fabric and have a great tote for a show and tell quilt for guild.
