I'm going to carry on using my wool mat. I have no room for any more "stuff" in my little sewing space.

I use a piece of chipboard from my watercolour painting days. It is 1cm thick and 14 x18 inches, covered with several layers of old flannelette sheeting. Works perfectly

@Bjay
as I was making coffee earlier I was looking sidey ways at my giant chopping board.
It's a wee bit too heavy to swing round the kitchen so....

Flippin' 'eck! You don't hang about! I've got as far as wondering where the stapler is!
What size did you go for?

Oops - I seem to have started something (quite inadvertently).
@wrenkins
- my pressing board is approx 15" square.

The board is 45cm x 30 cm - Took a FQ with a bit left over. I had to go for a size that didn't require cutting, fits nicely on kitchen work top, not to big but will take 12ins block

I have one I made earlier but it doesn't take a 12.5" block. Very useful, though.

I used my mighty pressing board to steamroller the second July block this afternoon.

Now I need to turn my attention to August. Catching up very slowly.
