i don't have a wall in any practical spot to put a design wall for anything bigger than a baby quilt.
instead, i suspended an 8-foot metal closet pole from the ceiling in my sewing space.
-two decorative hooks with dry-wall wings, then hung pose using dirt-cheap shower curtain rings.
bought a queen-size sheet, which hangs from the pole using more dirt-cheap shower curtain rings.
i also hung a strong binder clip from each of the "sheet rings", which will hold a finished quilt.
the whole thing hangs just in front of my stacks of fabric/notion storage drawers.
i pin my blocks to the sheet as the design grows.
when i want it out of the way so i can fish around in the drawers, i just push it all to the side.
if i ever need it completely out of the way i can take the whole thing off the pole and fold it up.
