Clever idea, Moonpi!
I am really surprized at the number of you who prefer having the quilt spread on their lap.
Another thing that I also notice from your replies is that each one of you adapts whatever tool to quilt for your specific needs. One does not want to have back pains, another prefers seeing the whole quilt etc.. It is amazing how we manage to do our little thing according to what we want to achieve, with our own personnality.
I love quilters!! :D
