I was wondering what I can use or buy. To set up my quilt squares on a wall, so I can see them together before I sew it together. Please Help I'm new at this.

The easiest way is to use a plastic. Tablecloth with a flannel back,, the blocks usually stick to the flannel, & it can be rolled up end to end with the blocks inside in place for the next time. I used this. All the time when taking a class, easy to transport home at the end & reopen at home

Hi Sharon. Good to meet you. I have such limited space that I take a sheet and use it over my shower rod and hang the sheet up with clothes pins. Living alone has some advantages. You'll find your place, I'm sure. I love this site for just this reason, great ideas and support. Love us all!


Blessings, Ruth

Welcome from a former New Yorker, now in New Hampshire.
I've been quilting since the 70s and have always used a flannel backed tablecloth for a designwall.
I buy a couple of yards and cut to whatever size wallspace I need.

We use White Flannel, but you can use felt as well.
