I love my design wall and it was very inexpensive to do. I bought a sheet of foam insulation at Home Depot and attached a sheet of flannel with spray fabric glue. It's very light weight so easy to move. I have it leaning against the wall in my sewing room - a few months ago I made another one so it will hold a full size quilt if put side by side.

i used an old flannel back tablecloth and attached to wall using velcro dots (which come real easy when you need to take them down.) sister gave me the idea and it really works

Buy a plastic table cloth with a flannal back at the $ store. Attach it to a wall with the flannal face up and the plastic facing the wall. I have a drop ceiling in my sewing room...I used cloths pins to attach the cloth to the metal part of the drop ceiling. Works perfect.

when the terminal i worked in moved, i took home a couple of those cubical partitions home. i put the batting on it, my dh made a frame out of scrap 2x4s around it. he mounted it on locking casters so i can move it around my studio (which i share with my dd and ddil. since it is 2 sided, 2 of us can be using it at the same time....i figure it cost me less that $25.00 for the batting.

This is what I have, bought it at JoAnn's. Eleanor Burns' son made her one with headliner and a wooden frame around it. I just tacked mine to the wall.

My den is my sewing room. I used push pins to attach a piece of white flannel to the door leading to the garage. I can stand at the end of the hallway and get a distance perspective to view color choices and block placements. I leave them in place as long as needed and look whenever I pass the doorway. No cost at all. I had the fabric and push pins.

Great idea - can't decide which one to use for my design board

Renee765,
I'd love to see a picture of what you've described. It sounds like a creative and inexpensive way to store quilting supplies.
