These are great ideas! I'm in our Texas winter home where I don't have as much space for all my quilting things but I do have a closet with 2 sliding doors. having a pull down one would be nice but I really like the insulation board idea too. Thanks!

I bought one and love it. It's so very sturdy. No flimsiness about it! Here's two pictures of it. One closed over my closet and one open with my blocks on it. It's so worth the money. I think that if someone came up with a great idea and went to all the trouble to make them and advertise in quilting magazines, we should buy from her and not copy her idea. We're suppose to back each other. That's what I've always done.

I use the center of my great room, and if I need to get a look at it from above I go up stairs and look over the balcony, usually take pictures from that perspective. I get a lot of stair stepping in when I change the layout. Who said you can't get fit while you are quilting?

My design board is a beautiful, wooden 3 fold room screen. It had cloth panels in it when I bought it, but they were so worn, I removed them and replaced it with flannel. What's nice is that I can spread it out as wide as I like, or just use 1 or 2 panels. It folds up neatly, and like you, I store it behind the door (when it's stored! LOL!) I like to keep nice looking patches on it when I'm not using a specific panel, both as a decoration and to remind me of the blocks I have stored.

However, your wall looks quick and easy and cheap, and certainly looks efficient! If I didn't already have mine, I'd copy yours!

Oh my! That is a great design wall. We're moving in about a year and that will be going up in my new, bigger sewing room.

Call me crazy but I threw a flannel backed table cloth over a picture hung it the dinning room and for the time being it works :]

Yes, I have one and it works very well. The blocks stick well and it's nice to roll it up out of sight when I'm not using it. I wouldn't say the screen is flimsy. I would recommend it!

Thank you for all the input. We have just decided to move closer to family and I will have my own room for sewing. Yippee! But I still want something nice for a design wall. Lots of options to consider here.
