Should it be big so I could fit a whole (almost?; queen size) quilt on it or smaller? What would good dimensions be.

The sewing and cutting tables will be separate entities.

Thanks in advance for your thoughts and suggestions.
I guess my first question would be, what do you have room for? My sewing studio is in the basement so I have lotsa room. I have a table for cutting that is 36"X60" to fit my large cutting mat. I also have a padded ironing table that is 60"X80". This also has a large cutting mat on one end that I can lean against a wall when ironing a quilt top and assembling backing and batting. Both of these tables are on wheels and can be moved together if necessary. The cutting table is usually stacked with UFO's and WIPs so I use the large table for most active projects. I also have countertops and small tables for sewing machines.
