My new design wall
 
If found 2 cubicle walls at a yardsale for $10. I do have to use pins but thats OK by me. They are very light weight and only take up a couple of inches against the wall.

Great idea!!! Could you cover it with flannel or something similar and then not use pins?

Quilter 53 09-20-2016 06:02 AM

By the way, I love your blocks!!!

That was my thought. If you covered it with flannel, you might not even have to use pins.

Great find! Bet you could drape a big piece of batting over the cubicles to experiment. It works great for holding blocks in place. Your blocks are gorgeous!

Nice design wall and beautiful blocks, too.

Makes me want to go scout out used office furniture places!!

Great thinking outside the box when looking at things. No doubt you will get a ton of use out of it!

Looks great! Often it isn't so much finding the design wall but finding "space' for the design wall. Mine is portable. I have no choice but to make it portable. It's whatever works and yours looks like it works for you. Great blocks by the way!

Great find for a design wall. But, oh those beautiful blocks really got my attention!!! They are beautiful. Can't wait to see it completed.

Love your blocks and enjoy your design wall. Like others said you could cover it with flannel, but I still pin to keep things from blowing off.

Great 'score'!

Terrific finds, and pretty blocks!

annette1952 09-21-2016 07:35 PM

Great find & idea! I wished I had room for a design wall but I don't. I always lay them on my island in the kitchen & although it is extra wide it just isn't wide enough. I make do though so all is good!

audsgirl 09-21-2016 08:16 PM

What a great idea! And your blocks are gorgeous!

Very clever! Your quilt blocks are very pretty!

tlpa 09-22-2016 08:26 AM

Great idea! I see those around every once in a while.

Sweet! Having a design wall makes all the difference. Even if the design 'wall' is a floor.

Jingle 09-22-2016 12:42 PM

I use my bed, already set up and the largest space I have.
Yours looks great and your blocks too.

Is that your original design board (the blue flannel on the left). I 'designed' a design wall like that, with flannel fabric that I hung on the existing curtain rod. When I need it, I 'open' it up, when I don't need it, I slide it all to one side and it just hangs around out of my way.

great find and great blocks!!
