We put up three 6' tables for Christmas Dinner. I bought plaid flannel that is 54 inches wide and heavier than regular flannel. We use it every year. It washes beautifully, and then all I have to do the next year is spritz it with water and fluff it in the dryer. No ironing.
Fluff and go! Oh, the backround of the plaid is white so there has been no fading.

Caution: wash and dry in the dryer at least twice (after zig zag stitching each end of the flannel length) so it's shrunk as much as it's going to.
Bev a couple of the fabrics I sent would make nice table cloths they are "out of the box" colors for any holiday. I bought another length of the pinkish plaid for just that. It will make a nice table liner protector too with the flannel and another fabric for a different season. Unless you've already used it for a pretty quilt.
