I'm another with fleece ... quilt blocks stick with no problems at all.
Many times I had a completed flimsy on it and left it for extended periods of time, with no problems and no pins!
Yes, a large quilt top at 100"x100" !!!
I chose black for a few reasons ... I had seen too many cream/white design walls in stores that just looked outright grubby and filthy. Also, a designer once told me that black let us see a true colour better.
No matter the colour, stray threads and such gather. A quick wipe with a lint brush or roller, soon has it looking as good as new.
The width of fleece is a nice bonus, with fewer seams. I wrapped each board separately, and then screwed the board to the wall. There's been no sagging. Those joins work great to help get things lined up and straight.
I've had mine now for well over five years and have had absolutely no regrets ... other than wondering why I had not done it sooner. I was fortunate that I was able to cover a whole wall, 10'x8', which for a big project it is amazing. Or I can have several smaller projects on it at a time. You can never have enough design wall space ... and yes, I even have a few portable ones for even more space!
