I have made two for my table. I have one on now, it is 42 by 68. I have batting in them, one has Hobbs 80 / 20. And one has warm natural, 100 cotton. I like the feel of the thinner batting for table cloths. I always have mats and a cloth table cloth on my table. My mats seem to wash nicely, so I'm hoping I have the same results with the full quilted table cloth. I just reason,it's bigger,and will still fit in my washer the same as the mats. So far I'm liking my table mat.
