jtapp, all I have for a design wall is 2 plastic tablecloths with the flannel-like backs that I picked up at the thrift store for 50 cents each. They also have them at most dollar stores. I use 3 skirt hangers with the clips on them to pinch the tops of the table cloths, one on each end and one in the center to hold the two together. I hook the hangers over screws my DH put into the back hallway for me, but you could also hook them onto a window or closet door. When I am not using them I can fold them up out of the way, or just leave them up unless we have company coming as it's really not in the way back there.

Me too. That's why i havent ruled out adding the triangle to two opposite corners method. Not exactly the same thing but I would still come out with a pretty darned nice quilt!

I've actually thought of doing this before! I usually think of it during the day then forget by the time I get home :oops: I think I still have a new tablecloth that I could switch out for the old one on my table (call me cheap..lol)

Ok, I think I'm going to make a wall tonight! Maybe I will show you some of my blocks :)

actually you can put a triangle on all four corners and make a square. Thats what I did, and I really like the look

Ohhhhhhhhh, please do show us your blocks!!!! We are waiting with high anticipation!!!

tim yours is georgous and I love it!!

Thats a beautiful quilt!! But aren't those octagons? (8 sided)

I love the look of this!!

Yes, you are right

The six sided hexagons won't turn into a square by sewing triangles on the corners. If I take an additional identical triangle and sew it to two opposite corners I will get a "block" that is shaped similar to a parallelogram.

At least that is all that I could come up with...lol
