That happens and you aren't alone. In the winter time we don't heat the upstairs enough to work up there so I have to schlep all my stuff downstairs and listen to DH complain about the mess. Try hanging a flannel sheet or a flannel backed table cloth over one of your curtain rods while you're working. It would be easily put up and taken down. And if you pin things in place, take it down, store it until the next time and everything would still be where you want it. You'll be surprised how much faster quilting goes when you have a design wall. The time it takes to put the pieces on it is offset(and then some) by the ease of having them in place to sew.
