Hinged design wall
 

I have a design wall in my quilt room, but never seemed to have enough room to put up all of the projects I am working on at any given time. I was constantly having to take down the quilt blocks of one quilt to put up another.

I wanted a second design wall, but did not have any more wall space, so a hinged design wall was the solution. My husband brain-stormed the project and did a great job for me.

What a cool idea! those husbands do seem to come in handy! It always amazes me at how much they support our hobby/addiction and how willing they are to help out when it comes to these kinds of things

NOW thats Just GREAT!! And I bet With a Little more 'brain storming' It could Even Split the Panel's So that each one 1st folded in 1/2 before you flip it to go the wall for a room that may be smaller?

Wow, that is awesome, thanks for sharing with all of us, You have a great hubby.

O-MY-GRAVY!!!! That has to be the COOLEST design wall ever!!! What a great DH...he is a keeper.

Thanks for sharing! I have got to get my husband working on a smaller version of one. I went to your blog and it's very easy to understand your directions. Thanks again!

Wow so so nice, he did wonderful !!!

Very cool Lucky to have a DH who is so inventive!!!

What a great idea and I love your quilts on the designs walls~especially the T-block one!

GENIUS--congrats to you and your husband.

That is sew cool. Which I had a room big enough for one.

That was a wonderful wonderful idea. and your quilts are just beautiful even unfinished. thx for sharing your idea

Love that design. I also love your T pattern. The colors are great. That's on on my ever growing to do list.

That is an awesome design wall.

Love it, I wish I had room for one like that. Always need more since we always seam to work on multiple projects at once. You have the problem solved!

Wow, that is so neat. I bookmarked your blog for future reference. :)

Marcia, what a great design wall. I think this idea might just catch on. Your DH is so very creative and talented.

Love all your works in progress too!
peace

I would love to see a picture of it.

wonderful wall.. I don't have enough room to swing one out like that. Mine is a sheet of insulation board cut in half and hinged with duct tape so I can have a narrow one or open it for when I need wider. Not real pretty but it works for me.

That's a great design wall. I would love to have that.

That is absolutely FABULOUS !!! He's a keeper for sure - fantastic job, love it, love it.

What a great design! Your DH is a clever fellow.

That is one of the coolest ideas I have seen!!!

What a great idea!

Wow! You have one amazing husband (as do a number of gals on this board).

I notice you have the sloped ceiling of an upstairs room. This is a great idea for a room with short wall space!

Fantastic idea, wish I had enough room. Thanks for sharing .

I am drooling here....what a wonderfully clever hubby you have :)
:thumbup:

Awesome idea.

So awesome!!!!!

What a great idea.

What a clever husband you have ! He should patent that design.
I wish my sewing room had enough room to do something like this.

Thanks for sharing!! It sure is great having hubbies that help us out, eh??!! My dh built me a design wall last year, and I am finding I need another one, too...as I also use mine for spray basting my quilts (have to add 505 spray baste only!!). So a big thank you to you and your dh for sharing this idea!!

That's a very smart idea. It's sorta like how they hang large area rugs in stores

What is the blog address? I would like one too!

I hear what your saying about not enough room for more blocks had to make a second design wall too but just did it on 2 basement walls...

Wow! This is great!

What a great design and a hubby to follow through! If you don't mind, what did he use for structure the design boards? (it must be light)
