It is wrapped around coroplast and paper clipped (with plastic coated paper clips). I could never get it to stand up like that on it's own. I saw a website a few years ago that sold something similar, but by the time I got done paying for the shipping and the clips to keep the fabric on their boards, each board would have cost about $1.50, so I started looking for an alternative. My sister had some left over coroplast from a sign she had made and gave it to me to "try-out." It worked great and I now have over 300 of them in use. I only put the 2 yard+ cuts on them, so I know that I can plan a quilt around each fabric if I want to.
I suggested to her that she make the boards available on Ebay for other quilters and she has sold hundreds and hundreds over the last few years. She charges a lot less than those I have seen in quilt stores and on-line, so it is not that expensive to get organized.
