flannel backed table cloths are great! i have several friends that use them as design walls. i use mine as table cloths for when the coffee spillers gather
..i too, do minis & several years ago i created a "book" of felt pages seperated by clear vinyl. it's 12" square, each page holds several mini blocks or one or two blocks for larger quilts. i can roll it up, hold together w those pony tail bands and take with to sew groups. when not in use it hangs on wall via a hanging strap. i can even leave blocks in and they don't fall out while hanging.
...felt or flannel --quilters best friends
