unappealing as this sounds - how about a light/medium gray or greyish tan or tan?
I went to the Quilt Museum in Paducah and, if I remember correctly, the walls were sort of one of those colors. Definitely not white. I also read in one of the quilt books - sorry, don't remember which one- to use a tan or gray - that way the contrast is less intense and it's easier to focus on what you have put on it. I'm thinking it was a Kaffe Facett (I know that is spelled wrong) or a Jinny Beyer book. |

If you have QNNTV or QuiltersTV you can watch Quilt in a Day build a design wall. They used auto headliner.
|
I really looked at that and seriously considered doing mine with that, Rose Marie - but the headliner fabric really shot the cost up and my Heirloom batting had worked very well for a long time - so that's what I went with. I'm still lovin' it, too :wink:
|
Wow - this forum is so informative! My son wants his ping pong table back, so I need to create a design board that will hold well. All your knowledge is a gold mine. I just had to say thank you!!!
|
i had my cousin husband make me one out of head liner staple to a board look at quilt in a day .com elenier makes one their
|
I have felt on mine, but I still have to put pins to keep the pieces from falling off. Then my dog, Buddy, walks by it and knocks the low stuff off, pins and all. :roll:
|
wally world tablecloth works for me and trust me some of my blocks hang there forever. To many projects going at once.

This is a relatively inexpensive, well-working solution. And if space is really tight, you can just use the "design wall" for the batting, then purchase more for the next quilt. :lol: |
