I use a lightweight board from Home Depot. It some kind of installation boarding. It's about a half inch thick. It's 8 ft x 4 ft. My husband put light weight wood strips on the back edges for hanging and I stapled (with his industrial staple gun) warm and natural batting to the boards. It's wonderful and was very cheap! It's very lightweight and can hold a large quilt so I can audition borders etc and stand back!
