I have two sizes of boards. I have a 6 foot set for smaller quilts and a 10 foot set for anything that won't fit on the 6 foot boards. I store the boards on the floor behind my couch in the family room. I have two folding tables from Wal-Mart that I put together end to end when I use the 10 foot boards. Sharon doesn't show it in her videos but it helps to tape the top edge of your quilt to the board with painter's tape.
