It's my favorite week of the month - time to share my little finish for the Table Scraps Challenge, hosted by The Joyful Quilter. For April's project, the color was red (the Rainbow Scrap Challenge color of the month) and the added challenge was to include raindrops.
Red and raindrops??? Okay!
But then I lucked out! Last year at some point, I had sewn together some rail fence blocks out of a scrap bag that a friend had given me. I picked these particular bits because I liked the red, yellow, black and white combination. And look - do you see them? Red raindrops!
Plus, suns, scissors, tulips, and cats on bicycles!
I eventually made enough of the blocks to sew together into this little piece - it measures about 9 x 12 inches.
And then it sat, never finished, until I was digging around for my red scraps earlier in April, and this turned up - so perfect to finish for the April challenge! I found a great backing for it, continuing the red and yellow theme, and I hand quilted with ecru pearl cotton.
And, voila! A finish!
This little tabletopper made its way to my desk that sits by the back door of our house where we come in from the garage, and collects the stuff you drop by the door. (All cleaned up for photo purposes!)
Thank you, Joy, another fun challenge! I enjoy these every month.

Oh that's a cute finish Diann! Love the kitty on the bicycle, and the fabrics and colors are great together. Your stitching just sets it all off perfectly. That is a nice "mud room"!
Another cute scrappy table mat! Nice colour combo. Gail at the cozy quilter

Perfect fabric for the challenge! How neat is that. Great finish this month.
You have been hittin’ them out of the park lately. I don’t think we can have too many little table topper, mug rugs, or the like.

The perfect spot for your tabletopper.
How amazing it is that you had just the right fabric for the prompt, Diann. Super cute finish for your TSC entry!
What a great feeling when you search in just one other place and find the exact right fabric for a project. I especially like the backing for your table mat.
I LOVE that table topper. What a great way to use those blocks. Sending hugs!
How fortuitous to have your block already sewn so that all was needed was the finish work. It looks great on your desk.
Very cute!! It looks great on your desk.
Very cute table runner! I really like that backing fabric.

Well done, Diann! The rain fabric is perfect for this challenge AND for the month's colour. Love the kitty on the bike too. Fun prints. Enjoy! ;^)
Cute finish! The red raindrop fabric was a great find!
Super super cute!!! Maybe the raindrops brought us that rain??? If so - leave it out for more rain haha
Great little project to use up those pieces, Diann. By the way, I am in the process of catching up with your posts so please do not feel like you have to reply to every one of my comments. LOL
