That's neat to know. Thanks.

Yes, I just recently put a vinyl picnic table cloth up in my dining room. All these years I have not had a design wall. Now, I am also going to get more as I have others pieces to play with. Aren't they great? And Cheap? And moveable? Love them!

How did I survive all these quilting years without one?:D

I put one up as I was working on the Hexagon Star as I couldn't keep myself straight part of the time. When you can put the blocks up, stand back and decide placement, etc., it just makes it so much easier. I used insulation board as the base and now I wouldn't be without one. Best investment ever, in my opinion to help newbies along the way. No more leaning over the bed or crawling around on the floor! My body parts didn't like that.

took xmas down as my next to blocks will have border fabric in
put up buzz saw that`s been around for a while!!!!!!!
just wanted to see it up colors not set yet

Great idea the dollar store haa them

I've used those flannel backed tablecloths, too. Especially at workshops and retreats.
But I have finally decided there's nothing better than 100% cotton batting on a design board for having the blocks "stick" to it without pinning. I'm changing the one in my studio.

l take one to workshops....

thanks for sharing how easy it is to have a design wall

Great idea! Love your quilt and love your avatar!

Boy! Do I hear THAT! With degenerate disk disease, I simply can NOT bend over anymore. A design wall is a must!

I have used one for many yrs and they work great. Saves a lot of money too.

neat idea thanks for sharing!!!

:thumbup:Thanks for the idea. Never thought of that. Will definitely have to try that.

I made one from a flannel-backed vinyl tablecloth, too. Folded it over about 1-1/2" from the top, put 5 large grommets in it, placed Command hooks on the wall at the same intervals and hung it up. It holds my blocks up well and can be removed, if necessary, without marking up the wall. :)
