I used 2 tv trays one for my pressing and the other one for my small cutting mat since I was paper piecing. I have a sewing room on the other end of house but no tv, no pc. ha ha

This summer I will be using the sun porch but we don't heat it in the winter time.

Okay who is next?

Karen "Craftybear" Indiana, USA (* Beginner Quilter)
I cut on the dining room table. Piece at my sewing machine which is on a desk in my computer/sewing room. Sandwich using a cardboard cutting board which folds up for storage and can be found at JoAnn Fabrics by either placing it on my dining room table or on the guest room queen sized bed. Pin baste at either location but will roll it up and move to the dining room table to hand baste. As a hand quilter who doesn't use a hoop or frame I have to hand baste every 2 inches top to bottom and side to side. I can easily roll the quilt to get at areas as needed and turn the board as needed. Works the best for me and is a process that has evolved over 46 years of learning how to quilt - yes, still learning.
