Well not exactly what I had in mind but I think this Easter place~mat for Miss Ava turned out rather cute. Lots of trial & error here. I think next time I should pay attention to the direction when I sew it on the sides so they are both the same direction. All I have left is the binding which I will save till the rest are done so they can all be done @ once. Thank you crosses for your help in making the barber poles I couldn't have done it without your help.
