design wall
#11
I use my bed as my design wall. I don't crawl on the bed, it would mess up the quilt blocks. I just walk around the end and sides of bed, on the floor. Same as when I go to bed. After I like the arrangement I number all blocks W/ Crayola washable markers. Yes, the markers all wash completely out all the time and always.

I have three...one is white fleece attached to the wall with a quilt hanger that is a long magnet. Metal curtain rod in a pocket on the fleece and it clings to the magnet. One is fleece that is just pinned around a door in my sewing room (I use that for completed squares that are awaiting their quilt-mates)...and one is the wall in my daughters old room. We had a handy man attach some type of building material to one wall...making it is a HUGE bulletin board/design wall. I use all three. Actually they are all COVERED! lol

Cream colored fleece attached with velcro - one side sticky to place on the wall and one side sew on for the fleece. That way it is easily removable at holidays so the family room can look like a family room, otherwise it's a nice sewing room - my sewing room turned into storage room. I don't have to pin anything, though a certain Border Collie blows off a few low placed blocks with her happy dance occasionally.

I bought a flannel backed tablecloth at Big Lots on clearance about 7 years ago and it still works fine. I used push pins to pin it to the wall of my old house but I'm thinking about stapling it to an old roller shade bar for my new house so I can roll it up out of my way when I need to.

Once again thank you so much for what I consider an absolutely genius idea!

I had a nice design wall my daughter and SIL made me. It was plywood with cork board and felt. Used it for years. I recently took it down and put up a wide back piece of flannel. The old board just wasn't long enough for a bigger quilt.

I just received a Fons and Porter Design Wall for my birthday. It is 60 x 72 with 2 inch grids. Looks wonderful but I don't know how costly it was and refuse to look since it was a present. Now, to find a big wall.
