2021 TABLE SCRAPS Challenge

Welcome to the information page for the 2021 TABLE SCRAPS Challenge here at The Joyful Quilter!!

Photo credits for the button labels go to Susan @ Desert Sky Quilts.  Thank you, SEW much!!

This challenge is offered in conjunction with the Rainbow Scrap Challenge, but any of my readers may participate.  While you will find all the particulars in THIS POST, which was released on December, 25, 2020, here are the highlights:

The Requirements...

In the interest of fairness to ALL tables, the rules will include quilted mug rugs.  I know it's a stretch from the standard table runner, but  those of us who live in small homes may not have use for a larger quilted runner or topper.

Anything goes...

No certain techniques will be required, but you are welcome to add your own design rules to add to your own personal challenge.  (Themes? seasonal, colors, orphan blocks, etc.)

If it fits your table, it fits the Challenge!

Any technique will be acceptable.  (Applique, pieced, QAYG) 

What qualifies???

Any quilted table covering, be it runner, topper, placemats, candle mat, or mug rug.

The RULES...

1. RSC Quilters should incorporate the Color of the Month!!  Others are invited to join in, as well.  Write a separate post or add it to the one you write for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge.

2. Link-up with the Challengers here on The Joyful Quilter on the LAST Saturday of the month to share your quilted table dressings.

3. Tell us about any further "rules" that you set for yourself.  These can be all encompassing or change as the months go by.

Important Note for Non-bloggers...

Non-bloggers are welcome to email a photo of their entries to share here on The Joyful Quilter and Instagram users can link to @thejoyfulquilter using the tag #tablescrapstrtchallenge when posting participating projects.
