Flannel is my favorite. I've used cotton batting but it gets very tired looking fast. I used flannel backing over Styrofoam/insulation board for the design wall. One design wall is not always enough so I made a folding room screen divider out of the same type of board. Then I used an old queen size flannel flat sheet. Perfect!

The fleece cleans up easily with a lint brush or roller.
I chose black, for two reasons.
I'd seen too many "white" design walls in LQS' that were outright grubby looking, along with all the threads, etc on them. Threads come off. Grub does not.
Plus ... an interior designer told me one time that black lets you "see" the true colours of a fabric easier than any other colour.
