I actually do not have one wall in my house that would work as a design wall. I use my bed that has a white bedspread and I am not crazy about this as it kills my back bending over. Yesterday I laid my scrappy quilt out and then pinned numbers to all the rows. I have used flannel backed tablecloths but they don't work as good as they used too. I am thinking of sewing flannel to the tablecloths, that might work. Hope you find something that works for you.
