Default Quilt Design Wall Material

I'm in the process of making a lot of HST blocks from a lot of material I want to use.

I found a pattern online that shows several ways of putting such together.

Unfortunately doing this on the living room floor is just about impossible with so many blocks. So I need to make what seems to be called a "Design Wall". Since I live in a pretty small house, and wall space is basically non-existent, I have to design something I can hang over the front of my bookcases. What I've come up with is eight (8) sheets of paper/foam hobby board that I have duct taped together for the wall. I will install two hooks at the top of my bookcases, and then put two reinforced holes in this hobby board, so it can be hung.

What I need to know are the types of materials that are used that you can stick cotton fabric squares to. I experimented, and found cotton batting seems to work holding these squares, though I'm not so sure just how long they wills tay in place.

Hope someone can suggest how to make this wall based on the materials I have on hand. I can purchase the material that hopefully will hold cotton HST blocks, if my cotton batting isn't good enough.
