If you want a heavy duty cover that will last for years and don't want to goof around making it yourself allbrands has good cotton duck covers.

I have one on my board and love it.
I took a class from a national quilt teacher and one of the things I learned was for quilting you want an ironing board cover with some grip, not the slippery silver stuff. It keeps your block parts from distorting.

I have found ironing board covers at Target and Walmart in every size. I can buy the extra large size to fit my over sized ironing board, it's plain muslin, not pretty like some of the other covers. I bought a Steady Betty and could kick myself for not having one years ago! Didn't even know what it was until I read about it on this board. It's the best ironing surface I've ever used for quilting.

What's a Steady Betty?

Check Ebay
The last time I looked at a local Walmart there weren't even any ironing boards. They certainly didn't have a cover to fit my 18" x 48".

Anybody found a good one this size?

My ironing board is oversized 18" X 54". I love it but when the cover started to tear I searched all over for a new one. Even bought a few thinking they would fit and had to take them back. Finally made my own. Used teflon fabric (that silver stuff. Bought 1 1/2 yds with my Joanne's coupon. Placed it on my board, cut off some of the excess and sewed the edge. Fits great and cost me about $7. I'm happy.
