The reason I have so many to wash at a time is that I put them in the gentle cycle load (and I have a ton of clothes), so it's usually a month or so before I have enough for a full load. I always tell myself I should do more frequent, smaller loads, but there isn't much incentive to create more work for myself!
I hadn't thought of laying them on tables on a towel, but then I think of the extra work of caring for the towels -- letting them dry, folding them back up, putting them away.
So, in conclusion, laundry sucks.
I do the exact same thing, OP. Like a couple of PPs, I either lay them on the ironing board or on towel-covered chair backs. Once they are partially dry and not too heavy, I move them to thick hangers until they are all the way dry, then fold and put away. The towels stay on the chair backs until they are dry, then I fold them and move them back to their permanent place in the laundry room. Not too much extra work overall.
