Honestly, I didn't go that far but I needed something in a hurry because the quilt I was working on just took off, so I used an old vinyl tablecloth since the back is felt and Velcroed it to the wall. Never thought about insulation board, what a great idea!
I would use flannel and then just staple it on if the board is thick enough. You could also just use thumb tacks, or maybe tape it on so if the flannel gets dirty, you could take it off and wash it.
Hanging it up, maybe some brass or silver 'L' brackets so you could prop it up on the wall or get a picture hanging kit, they're inexpensive to get. If you're going a more permanent route, just use screws and get out a level so it's not hanging crooked. Great job for the hubby!
