    Default My portable design wall!

    [ATTACH=CONFIG]509272[/ATTACH]I do not have room for a permanent design wall, so here is what I came up with! It is a cardboard tri- fold display board. I found it at Wal-Mart, but I am sure an office supply store would have them as well. I used 1 1/2 yards of white flannel, taped it snug (but not tight, if that makes sense, it has to fold) on the back. It will fold into thirds when not in use. It measures 48" wide x 36" tall. Not huge, but better than nothing!

    It all boils down to what you have space for and when you can put your blocks up and stand back you always get a better picture. Looks good to me.

    Outstanding! I love to hear of how quilters with limited space come up with innovative ideas to "make it work". Good job, and something anyone can do. Thank you for sharing!
