What a wonderful idea! Perfect for quilting in a small space! I use hoops because I don't have any room in my house to set up my standard quilting frame. Now I'll have to give something like this a try.

I would not want to quilt a queen or king using this, but works great for twin or smaller!
The handy part is it just folds up when not in use.

I did the same thing!!! I use great big binder clips like you get from office supply store to hold quilts in the frame. I quilted in the ditch on a king size quilt this way.
Try to visualize a card table with the center cut out then imagine a large quilting frame with legs. You just cut out the center back to the wooden frame all around.
