Cutting Table
I can't cut straight. lol I so need a table because right now I use the floor. I would use my kitchen table but I would have to drag everything downstairs (plus DH tries to keep the little one busy downstairs while I try to sew). I keep begging DH to clean off his desk that he NEVER uses so I can use it. I think I have about worn him down. 
Anywho, this is my first non-precut type quilt. I have just done a strip quilt, the jelly roll race quilt and used layer cakes for another quilt. I had to cut each square for this one and lets just say they are not all the right size.
But I know my cousin will enjoy it even if it isn't perfect. I am still learning and I wanted to make something different for her upcoming little one.
Oh and I need a new cutting mat. My Little One bent mine and when I was cutting tonight, I cut right through the mat! Part of it is my fault as I don't have a good storage place for it...it is a big one. My next one I will find a place to hang it and out of her sight.

I frequently put my cutting mat on my ironing board (the ironing board is a "Big Board" - so it is a relatively firm surface) and do my cutting there. It's a lot more comfortable for me than having to bend over.
Forget about even trying to work on the floor!
Under the bed is a good place to store a cutting mat.

I hate cutting on the floor too but in order to get anything done, I have to stay upstairs so the floor it is until DH cleans off his desk. And I hope I can talk him into cleaning out the drawers too so I can use them for storage of my fabric.
