My New Ironing Board

Regular ironing boards aren't so great when your trying to iron a larger quilt top. So today my husband helped me make a new ironing board. We used a piece of plywood, 2 layers of 100% cotton quilt batting and some fabric.

It's 26"x 39" fits nicely in the corner of my table where I can press a small HST or a queen size quilt with ease. I just love the fabric. I found it buried in my stash and it has to be at least 7 or more years old. So it was put to good use today. Hubby  also decided I needed a little home for my iron as well. Isn't he sweet. 

PS I love my purple Oliso iron! My 2 oldest sons bought it for me for Christmas.
