I also used a pink foam insulation board (4 x 8), covered it with a piece of batting and my DH attached it to a wall with strips of wood trim. Originally I purchased two 4 x 8 sheets of the insulation boards to hang side by side to make the design wall 8 x 8 BUT I did not judge the space I had for them correctly. They are easy to cut down and I was going to do just that. However, my DH got busy and put one up with the 8' going across and the 4' coming down the wall. Anyway, it works great and is very helpful. No more laying quilts out on the floor and trying to get a good look at it before sewing.
