I also have the foam insulation boards (4' by 8'). There are 2 taped together. Then I have Warm and Natural batting just draped over the top. I can put a whole quilt up there without using any pins. If I need a pin here or there, I use straight pins.

I used insulation board covered with flannel because I didn't have a large wall to put a design wall on and I can stand these in front of the closet doors. I really like that I can put them where I want them and the cost was very nominal. It works fairly well, I may try batting on the other piece of insulation board that I have never finished.

I use insulation board with Warm & Natural duck taped to it....just wrapped it over the edges and duck taped on the back. My wall is "portable"...just leans against my closet doors, and I move it if I need in the closet. I didn't have a blank wall to make it permanent.
I cut off the top one foot of an eight by four insulation sheet, thinking the whole 8 feet wouldn't have fit. I sort of wish I hadn't done that, as I think I could just have easily leaned the whole board against my closet doors. It has lasted 5 years though, and I really have no complaints.

When half of the basement was finished off in 2007, we did a permanent design wall of four insulation boards (6 feet long and 8 feet wide, butted up to the ceiling). I ordered enough yardage of flannel backing, cream on cream, on sale to cover the boards as a whole piece. A lint roller is used for picking up the little threads, and the wall is still going strong. Love it.
