Somehow from parents & grandparents I’ve inherited 3 army green wool blankets and I could never find a use for them. This winter DH and I made 2 pressing boards (2’x2’) for two granddaughters who have just gotten sewing machines. Layer of batting, 3 layers of wool blanket cut to size and a canvas covering stapled on. He screwed on 8 rubber feet. After that, we covered my 18x72 ironing surface with 3 layers of wool blanket and new canvas covering. Still have 1 blanket but I have friends ! I’m saving the scraps - possibly stuff pin cushions. Love repurposing things !!
