ccbear66, I remembered seeing a pattern for a large top to add to a ironing board for pressing quilting tops. You could make it for cutting if you rather have that. I found the book, it was in the"ConnectingThreads " Winter 2005 cataloge. I have a bad habit of saving things!!! The pattern was $7.00. They also had a "BIG BOARD" already made up for $98.95. They also have free pattern downloads at www.ConnectingThreads.com. I hope this helps you out. This is a great cataloge, they have fabric, patterns, tools, everything. Check it out. I have gotten their newer book too. So I know they are still in business. Pat
