I've ironed, folded my fabric on plastic canvas sheets. Bought 6 large ones at Walmart for $4.28, cut them into fourths and they work fine and are a better value than other plastic products. Here's pictures of my bookcase "fabric store". These are my 1 yd or greater pieces.
My very own "quilt store"
