It looks great. I recently made one using some pre-quilted fabric

Looks great to me, I pulled a twin sheet over mine until I could make a new one.

You did a great job on the ironing board cover. You can't be the price either. LOL...

I cringed when I bought an ironing board cover because it cost $30.00. One month later it was tatters because I iron clothing and press as I quilt. I took it back to the store and they refunded my money. I came home and made one of canvas fabric I had. I have used it for almost a year now and there is not a mark on it. The one thing I did differently than you did was to use wide bias tape as a casing around the edge and run a cord through it and tied it snugly as the back end of the board. That gathered up all the excess fullness. Cost-virtually nothing since I had all the components on hand. Nothing like "Made at Home".

Oh wow! Thanks everyone. It makes me happy each time I look at it and know I did that. So far, its held up pretty darn good and I know if I need to wash it, that it easily pops off. Cant beat homemade and customed to me.
