At a retreat as one of the mini-classes, they handed out a ceiling tile & a small piece of warm and natural batting. We cut the batting to size & used the basting spray to attach the batting to the tile. (that was a few years ago & the batting is still sticking on it) It's perfect for placing a block as you're piecing it to keep it in order when moving to the ironing board or whatever. If you could get a 16" tile it would work a little better because the 12" tile is a little small when you are laying the raw pieces of the block out.
