Has anyone used this design wall? I purchased one at a quilt show and am not having good luck with it. It has a sticky front and back - supposed to adhere to the wall. My blocks fall off and it keeps falling away from the wall. The Fons & Porter design wall which I purchased from JoAnns with a 40% coupon for $15 is far superior to this Block Butler which cost $60.

I just bought a F&P design wall. I had to take pictures off of a wall to use it, but it was a great purchase. Love it!!!

I've never used it, but wonder how people like it.

I am thinking of getting one of those that roll down off a roller, like a window shade.

Anyone have one of those?

I have a roller shade I found at Habitat for the humanity for $10.00 (6 feet wide!), I have the flannel, I have the brackets. Just need the glue to glue the flannel and make my own!!!!! I'm hoping it works, too!

I bought 2 sheets of 4'x8'x1/2" foam insulation at a building center for less than $10 apiece, fastened it to a wall for a design wall. I just pin blocks to it. I think I will cover it with flannel sometime. Plenty large enough to pin up the largest quilt I'll ever make.
