i did that when i first started to quilt in the 80's. i have had degenerative spinal disease since teens. the bed trick didn't last long ..backbreaking in every sense of the word! so then i moved the dining table & and used the hardwood floor & hoped i'd finish before hubby got home from work and wanted his dinner so now ..hang a piece of felt and leave as long as needed

I bought sheet insulation then tacked batting to it.

I have three...one is white fleece attached to the wall with a quilt hanger that is a long magnet. Metal curtain rod in a pocket on the fleece and it clings to the magnet. One is fleece that is just pinned around a door in my sewing room (I use that for completed squares that are awaiting their quilt-mates)...and one is the wall in my daughters old room. We had a handy man attach some type of building material to one wall...making it is a HUGE bulletin board/design wall. I use all three. Actually they are all COVERED! lol

I bought a felt design wall with groments on one end and hung it in my sewing room with command hooks. I roll it with lint roller if it gets to many threads on it. I have had it for years.

Cream colored fleece attached with velcro - one side sticky to place on the wall and one side sew on for the fleece. That way it is easily removable at holidays so the family room can look like a family room, otherwise it's a nice sewing room - my sewing room turned into storage room. I don't have to pin anything, though a certain Border Collie blows off a few low placed blocks with her happy dance occasionally.

Bought 4 sheets of foam insulation . Was intending to hang them on the wall like a 4patch, but decide I like the portability of not hanging them. I cover them with Warm and Natural Batting .

I bought a flannel backed tablecloth at Big Lots on clearance about 7 years ago and it still works fine. I used push pins to pin it to the wall of my old house but I'm thinking about stapling it to an old roller shade bar for my new house so I can roll it up out of my way when I need to.

GENUS!!! Thank you Thank you QuiltE! I have been struggling for months on what to do with my design walls. I made them out of insulation foam boards covered with flannel. After I got them made (made 2 because the sheet of insulation was too big to stand up in my house, duh 8 foot ceilings, 8 foot board no fit) Anyway, I had them in my outdoor storage shed for a while, but very inconvenient to use. They would not fit under either of the beds, no free wall to hang them on, a real dilemma. Almost reached the stage of just giving them away or cutting them up. But you my new friend stated the obvious STORE BEHIND A HUTCH! I have a hutch in my sewing room and one in the dining room. I even have a huge chest of drawers in my bedroom, Not once did my old brain think of behind something, I only thought of under something. As soon as I can move that hutch away from the wall a couple of inches, I am golden.
Once again thank you so much for what I consider an absolutely genius idea!

I had a nice design wall my daughter and SIL made me. It was plywood with cork board and felt. Used it for years. I recently took it down and put up a wide back piece of flannel. The old board just wasn't long enough for a bigger quilt.

I just received a Fons and Porter Design Wall for my birthday. It is 60 x 72 with 2 inch grids. Looks wonderful but I don't know how costly it was and refuse to look since it was a present. Now, to find a big wall.
