Someone posted that they were making a wall board from a sheet of foam insulation. That sounded great and I'm heading to Home Depot but don't have any flannel handy and can't get to fabric store today. Can I use any other covering that will keep my squares sticking to the insulation sheet? Please help.

Thank you for the tablecloth backing idea - that is what I'll use for this weekend anyway. I want to have the insulation sheet so that it will be portable. In other words put it on my bed, stand it against the double closet doors in the bedroom or use it in the hallway. The person that wrote in last week or so said it cost her only about $3. and then a lightbulb went on that about 8 years ago my husband made me window cornices from that pink stuff and we put batting on front side and then drapery fabric. They were nice and light to hang over windows and although I don't remember what he paid, he didn't spend much.
Thanks Victoria

Hi, I am thinking of putting flannel on a roll up blind and put over our closet in our bedroom and then make a valance to cover the hardware up so when I am not using the blind for the wall board it will be rolled up and out of sight.
What do you think?

I think that is a terrific idea. I immediately thought of the two home movie screens that I disgarded when my DH passed, the screen and roller could have been salvaged and hung up but I wasn't much into quilting then - a lot of dress making and teddy bear (faux fur) making. Victoria
