I used 4 foam boards from the Dollar store and covered 2 with W&N batting and the other 2 with flannel just to see which one worked better. Can't tell the difference. Both W&N and flannel work great. I also used command strips to attach the back of the foam boards to the wall so no damage.

I'm able to position 4, 12.5 inch blocks with 2.5 in sashing across and 4 to 7 down with nothing falling off or the "design wall coming loose" from the wall.

OR you can spend a ton of money and get the same results.

I used two 4 x 8 sheets of foam insulation and covered them with a cheap felt. I have to stick pins in it to keep the blocks up. Now that I have read this I will be changing to batting. Thanks guys!!

I used a queen sized batt of warm and natural. I put it up with push pins around all 4 sides. We are renters and they leave very tiny holes in the wall that paint will cover up. It works great!!
