Sorry to be so long in responding, Kristen - I was out of town at a fabric dyeing class.
I used a layer of muslin directly on the insulation board to help block out the color (attached with spray adhesive) and a layer of Hobbs 80/20 batting over the muslin (also attached with spray adhesive.) I chose the batting over flannel because I knew from using the batting that blocks 'stick' to it really well and I chose it over the headliner fabric simply because of cost - I can get the headliner fabric at the local fabric store, but IIRC even at 50% off it was going to be around $6 per yard. I pick up Queen size Hobbs batting for just under $11 each.
I like the wood frame DH made for each of the panels and the way he choose to hang them because they feel really solid - they're not moving around on me the way it did when I just had it tacked to the wall. I can just throw the blocks up there or I can pin.
Hope this helps :D
