My grandmother always had plastic "table cloths" over her cloth table cloths. I will NOT do it. I can wash the cloth when it gets dirty!!!!

How in the heck would you go about laminating it, anyway?

No accounting for nosey people. If you don't want it preserved, then don't. I'm sure you are old enough to decide what you want to do with your table topper. Enjoy it.

Oh oh......I am taking a class tomorrow evening, making a QAYG table topper. I better watch out for the quilt police in case they have moved here!!!!

Mine will also be used. Ketchup, mustard, relish, pasta sauce...you name it, it WILL get spilled on it. And washed to be used again. :)

I made my table toppers and used Thinsulate for the batting so they could double as a hot pad on the table, no way am I covering them. I have a quilt in the car that my grandkids call the picnic quilt and it has had all manner of stuff spilled and dropped on it, washes beautifully.

That sounds like the same category of person who doesn't believe in burning pretty candles. This same category of person can't possibly have much fun in life.

My mom purchased some quilted placemats for Thanksgiving one year. Year after year we would take these same placemats out for Thanksgiving dinner and my sister and I would laugh until we cried at all the stains.

I'm going to miss that this year, both my mom and sister are gone. :cry:

Don't cover it, memories are wonderful, stained or not. :thumbup:
