This is quite encouraging. I've made a tablecloth for Christmas when the table is pulled out full length. The design defines the place settings. Many of the challenges with this cloth have been addressed here:
How to make glasses stable with the uneven thickness at seams.
How to minimize stains and washing
What to use as backing
I'm thinking I'll finish it as a quilt and hang it on the wall, maybe, maybe not.
Hoping it'll be finished for use by next Christmas, it's only been 5 yrs so far.
