I just went through my patterns, have numerous topper patterns, of course for round tables, all but one pattern would be too small according to your guidelines. I have 4 patterns measuring 15 X 15, 16 X 16, 16 1/2 X 16 1/2 and 18 x 18. Is there a reason you are requiring 24-36" measurements?? The 4 toppers are all gorgeous and something I've been waiting to try. Guess I could always try to add a border to them to make them bigger. I have several toppers I use that are smaller than 24 X 24 and I love them on my round table.....not a problem, just inquiring!! Also wondering if we will be specifying round/square/rectangle or oblong tables.....

I used some of the toppers and runers I have as a guide for the sizes, an 18" would not be bad.
I had not thought to put it in the guidelines, but those participating could mention what type of table they have so your partner has an idea as to which syle to make. I have already noted that Elizabeth has a round table, so if the rest of you let me know what type you have I will make a note of it on the sign up list.

Mary,
This one sounds like a winner! I have 2 tables - one is 36" round that can be oblong or oblooooong depending on the number of leaves. The basic size of the other table is 40 X 70, and it expands to 40 X 110 at maximum. Amazing set that I bought from a dear friend when she moved. She brought it from Norway when she was first married.
No preferences on size, color or type - runner or topper is ok.
