    i took home 2 of those cubicle walls when my office moved, covered w/batting & dh made a frame for them. because of the kneewalls in my room there is no full height wall in my studio except the end with the windows.. the stand dh made stands against the railing by the stairs.. works great & only the cost of the batting.

    my husband made mine. It is framed with 1 x2's and I had some $1.00 a yard fabric, he used this to stretch over the frame(like a canvas) and then he stretched batting over it and then a queen size flannel flat sheet was the final layer (quenn was all I could find) the finished size is 72 by 76? and then he hung it on the wall so I can take it down or move it if I need to.

    I stuck rubber-backed cork tiles onto two boards and clamp them onto the fence. They come down after I have the sandwich.They are very lightweight for me to handle.
    I really like short and sweet's solution, but I don't have the room or a DH.

    I used two large felt pieces with push pins to the wall. Usually I pin them but they do cling.

    I did the same thing. I covered it with batting and then black fabric. I have two 4' X 8' sheets butted up next to each other. they are very inexpensive and are perfect. I use straight pins and the 2 sheets together hold a all the blocks for a big quilt. You gotta have a design wall!!!

    I tacked some batting to the top of my sewing/guestroom door and spray basted the sides slightly, so its flush with the door. If I ever move, the spray baste washes off easily with some soapy water.

    I made one after seeing one on this board. Using a shade with flannel on it. I roll it up when not in use. I love it, I did it myself yippy!

    I use a cheap flannel-backed plastic tablecloth - works great for a portable design wall to take to a class... otherwise I use my front room floor.
