I love my design wall. Never had one until about 6 months ago. Don't know what I did before. The shade idea is good, but what will make the pieces stick? Can you put fleece on it and still roll it up? Getting it up out of the way is a good idea since it will hang over doors. Without the fleece the quilt pieces won't stick. There are different ideas posted here, try the search function. Good luck.
