What a wonderful idea! Now why didn't I think of that? I believe there will be a lot of us here at the QB that will adopting this idea.
I have another idea as well. After making the quilted top you could also make a clear plastic cover with elastic around the edge to cover the fabric. This would come in handy if the table sits outside. A little bit easier to simply wipe off the plastic. You could pop the plastic off quickly if you wanted for some occasions. You could also make different quilted tops as well. Oh, the possibilities keep popping in my mind.
Thanks again for sharing your fantastic idea.
