Yes, I use the ironing board to cut fabric on top of. I actually put one mat on top of another, to sort of give me a firmer base. If I need more room than that, I go to the island in my kitchen, but then I have to "not leave it there." Here in my sewing room, I can leave it out and come back to it later.
In fact, you don't have to try to picture it. I will take a picture. I have been working on a string quilt...my first, and I am starting to think it is more work than I want to do...and I just trimmed one of the sections. You can see my basket of scraps, my two mats...tan one on top of blue...and that is the way it looks.
