Quilt shops have "quilt boards" that fit right on top of your ironing board. They are covered and a perfect size for ironing a completed quilt top. It is easy to just lift them off the ironing board and store when you are finished with it.

I like the idea of making an ironing board to suit your own needs. I think even I could manage that one. Thanks for the idea.

I have one too, that I've had for years because I am tall it makes a good cutting table as well, it sits on top of my ironing board which is high position. I recently purchased a cutting table from Hancock's that is the right position for cutting so now I just the Big Board to iorn on.

I took an old metal typing table, bought some 3/8" plywood, had it cut to size I needed. I put a pressing pad, which I bought from Keepsake Quilting over it with staples. I bought heavy duty velcro and I velcroed it to the top of my typing table, which I can roll around and press on while I am seated. Also have a regular ironing board, which I use backwards. By that I mean, I put the pointed end to my right (I am right handed) and use the wide end to press on. Works for me!
