I find an art canvas works well covered with flannel...can get in many sizes. I have two 20" x 16" and I can carry them around or you can put a pin or nail in the wall and hang it. When working on small piece complicated blocks, I just set it next to my sewing machine on a small table and can pick up each piece sew and then put back.

I hang a flannel sheet on one wall of my sewing room with push pins. Also you can use the back of a cheap flannel backed table cloth. Either one could be taken down and stored easily. Mine stay up all the time - could not put a quilt together without it! Sure don't need to spend a lot of money to get this done.

My design wall is portable. I have a vinyl tablecloth with a flannel back. What I really love about it is the grid on the vinyl is 1" blocks. I attached Skirt hanger with swivel hooks. I can hang it on my curtain in my sewing room. I also have an old Wright's pattern cutting board with 1" grids I can use push pins and can attach the flannel and prop it up on my workbench. I can fold it all up and tuck it between cabinets or behind my 401.

How portable do you want it. I purchased a sketch board from Hobby Lobby and attached a folded piece of flannel and secured it to the board with small binder clips. It is very portable and large enough for 12 1/2" blocks.

this is what I used to have but it was on the wall. Now that I'm in an apartment, I only have 1 covered with Flannel and it leans against a wall. I miss having 2 though - much more room for design.
