Joann's, and other places probably, carry something called a Quilter's cut & press which is a cutting board on one side and pressing board on the flip side. I keep one next to my sewing machine along with my iron. I've attached a picture of it. Comes in two sizes.
Just to let you know if you buy one of these boards that they do stink when you iron on them. I bought mine from Joann's they told me that they typically do smell for a bit. They said the smell will go away and it did. But boy did it smell the first 5-10 times I used it. Now it works great though :)
