I duck taped the batting to the foam board, wrapping it onto the back and then taping it down. She used a spray glue to get hers to stick to the foam board. I don't have a picture of hers, but I do have one of mine. Let me see if I can find it.

I cut mine down a bit, but it comes in 4 x 8 foot pieces. It has the pink panther on the back, and I got mine at Lowes. I am very happy with my design wall. Maybe it will give you some place to start...

Mine is just like yours. I went to Home Depot and bought a thin board and a 1/2 in sheet of foam, covered it with a felt material. It is moveable and I slide it behind my shelfs when not in use.
I pin my blocks to the foam side to see where I'm going. The other side, I lay it across my kitchen counter and tape the backing material of a quilt to keep it straight, spray baste the batting, then spray baste the top. I also pin everything. It really helps to see what you are doing. Total cost 16.00.
