I am using a homemade block pillow at the moment which is about 24 inches wide, It is a D shape with moveable blocks down the middle. I made it to go in a suitcase. I have 22 pair of bobbins for a buckspoint pattern I designed, which is also called Alice, after my deceased MIL. I probably have about 3 inches space on either side of my bobbins on the apron and it is very comfortable, so I imagine if it were 18 inches, it would still be okay. I like leashes of at least 6 inches from the pins to the top of my midlands bobbins. Don't have a tape measure here so I used a dollar bill which is about 6" wide.

For some reason my computer got disconnected in the bedroom, so I am using one belonging to the hotel in Chicago. Now to go and try the free appetizers and drinks before dinner.
