The green is a deep forest green, and I like it. It may help me be more bold in my fabric, but I will try it for a design board. The felt holds fabric pieces, and doesn't bleed. I think it is some kind of polyester blend with cotton. I think we will use spray basting, and then staple it to the back of the foam board. It will not be done until the fall, as my DH is going to paint the room when it is cooler!!! Thank you for all your suggestions - my dear quilting friends.
