I lay a sheet then a heavy piece of vinyl over that. I have a cutting matt on one end...and a shelf from the tv unit (it's not wide enough for the size tv hubby bought) wrapped in cotton batting and muslin..that's for ironing. When I need to pin down binding or trim a quilt...I lay it out like you have yours...perfect! Quilt table manufacturer's need to make something similar...lol
white layer-ironing board, then plastic, then back of quilt, then top of quilt.

ironing cover stapled on, because its a solid top it can still be taken off to play pool.. :-)
