Same here. I have a few that I use for our large coffee table. No glass or other covering. That's what washing machines are for.

I use Joann's clear vinyl on my table, which displays a rotating selection of vintage tablecloths on it. Once of these days it will sport a quilt, honest. But I don't see why glass wouldn't work to protect the top, but the vinyl protects the sides from drips.

I have a round table and going shopping for a square one so its easier...I love quilted tablecloths. I am not going to put anything on it. I will remove it though when eating as I normally do and replace with placemats. I would love to see some pictures of some pretty tablecloths from folks. Happy quilting!

I change my tablecloths with the seasons. I have a Valentines one on right now. I use to buy the plastic at Joanns but found I can buy clear table cloths at Walmart and Bed Bath and Beyond that are the right size and MUCH cheaper. Good luck.

I can't help with your question, but this thread reminds me of a cartoon I saw several years ago in a quilting magazine. A husband and wife are at a table, the wife says "We can't afford this place, they use antique quilts for tablecloths".
