I was going to make one just like yours, but our local fire captain overheard me and asked me not to. He said having such a large board is a fire hazard and it would be safer to use something like luan (sp?) for the board. He's not too hot on the batting either, for what it's worth, and suggests flannel instead. NO quilter has had a fire yet in our community, but three house fires right in my neighborhood were caused by unattended candles!
What I'd prefer to do is develop a design roll, so that I can roll my design wall up when not in use until some day when I again have a room devoted to quilting!
