I ended up picking a light pink tiny floral...from far away, it falls away and the blocks really stand out so I can get the images right in my head. It's a 70s poly flannel and EVERYTHING sticks to it.
thanks retrogirl!
70's poly flannel as in made in the 1970's or something i can purchase today? my small portable design board is a light green flannel and it works pretty well. i probably will end up going with flannel. i agree with the stray light color threads. would probably annoy me and take lots of time to get them off of there!
what will i do with lots of yards of navy felt? :-o :wink:
any other input?
