I made my own. We got a 4X8 insulation board from Home Depot and cut it down to 4X6 and 2X6. I then put the 1 inch grid fabric on both (hot glued it to the back) and then put cream (I decided white would get too dirty) colored flannel on top (also hot glued to the back). I can see the grid through it so I get everything exactly how I want it to sew. I have the larger one mounted to a wall in my sewing room and the smaller one is attached so I can take it down and take it wherever I want. Works pretty slick!

Then I covered them with 1 or 2 layers of cheap batting from WalMart stapled to the back. They are wonderful.

I made my design board just like you did but without the framing your son did for yours. The framing is a great idea and it's going onto my DH's Honey Dew List ASAP. May in Jersey

Nope, they can't be too big :wink: You can either lay out a big quilt or work on a couple of smaller ones...
You are lucky to have that much space for this one :D:D:D
