Scissor Queen The words "floral mauve" didn't really realize thats what color it was. :shock: :lol: :lol: Thank You

After reading all of the posts Pzazz idea work. I love it now. I did rip out the middle floral and put in this white. Didn't do much damage to it. But the White on White I do love it.
Thank you Pzazz
Here is a picture of the difference. Tried to do 2 but said I had an error.
I Thank all of you for your ideas, I looked at each and tried each suggestion that I could use. The White on White just complimented the Plaid. Thanks again BillsBonBon
placemat after ripping out the middle. Still don't know how I managed that one.
