My DH put up an 8' X 8' piece of Warm n Natural on a wall not used it the basement where my sewing area is. He attached it to a wooden board 1X2 on the top and bottom then did "nail" it to the very top of the wall where, if I ever take down, the holes wouldn't show. Works great without pins but when the quilt is put together and heavy, I pin.

I went to the dollar store and bought a flannel lined table cover. My son put cup hooks up near the ceiling I hung the cloth there. My blocks stay until I take it down. The flannel board is easy to put up and down too. Works for me and hardly any cost. Jolo

Then used double sided carpet tape to stick it to the wall. Works great and very inexpensive. I think the board was 1.99, flannel 2.99 and tape was 2.97. I had spray adheasive at home.
I have a large vinyl tablecloth attached backside out with 2 push pins. there are 3 16" blocks adhering right now, no pins.

I have one called a Block Butler, and I absolutely love it. It sort of loses its stick with use, but I keep a spray bottle of water close by and give it a spritz when I need to. The blocks stick beautifully. It is a great help when I'm putting blocks together. You can find it online. Just do a search for "block butler" and you'll find it.

My Baltimore Album teachers used one of those folding cutting boards, flannel and curtain rods that extend with the curved ends that help stabilize it. I wish I had a picture to show but maybe will get one.

I purchased a folding cardboard display board (like the kids use for science fair projects etc.) in Staples, covered it with flannel and stand it up on 2 chairs. The pieces of quilting stick to the flannel with no problem.
