I made a design wall with a large flannel backed table cloth which I purchased at Wal-Mart. Using the 3M hooks that are removable without damage on your walls and a cafe rod that measured the width of the table cloth and clip rings that go with the cafe rod.
Hang the hooks up at the appropriate distance clip the table cloth with rings slide onto rod and hang. The quilt pieces cling very well to the flannel. One nice thing about this approach is, you can also use the ring clips on a finished quilt or wall hanging and hang up over the flannel wall when you want to show off your space.
Happy quilting

Nothing fancy here since we have our house on the market. I put up a flannel backed table cloth on the wall with heavy pins. Figure if we EVER sell the house, I can just paint over it to cover the marks. DH did suggest when we move that he would get a couple pieces of insulation board, put them together and I could cover them and he'd put them up. Whatever works and if you want to be able to take it down easily.

My design wall is very portable. My hubby bought 2 - 10' PVC pipe. I think it was 2". He also bought 4 Elbows. Then he cut the pipes in half. I had him leave the elbows off until I made the fabric fit. I used one of those soft rolled up blankets I found marked down at Dollar General but you could use flannel or whatever you want. I measured and sewed a Sleeve on each side. I had to leave about 4 inches from each end so it would fit snug and then put the PVC pipes through each one then put elbow on and connected. You will see what I mean about the fit once you have all elbows connected. I will try to get a picture oF mine to post.

My design wall if white flannel pinned all along the top sides and bottom to the wall. I never take it down. I vacuum to get loose threads off or use painters tape to get off the threads. Not fancy but works great. :thumbup:
