You probably already know this but I found a way to display my blocks that makes it easy for me. My daughter-in- law had a tall poster of Trace Atkins that she got from the dollar store, which was a tri-fold. She decided to get rid of it and asked if I had a use for it. I bought it home, stopping by the dollar store and bought a rectangular picnic table clothe. I covered the card board with it with the wrong side out using staples. When I've finished a block I can put it on the board because it sticks to the lining without pins or any thing else. In this way I can lay out several rows, and determine how you want to put them together.

Thanks!

Sounds like an excellent and frugal way to make a design wall! Flannel tablecloths are great for that. Thank you!

I've got a tri-fold. was thinking of making a flannel sleeve to slide over it for same idea..Question instead of STAPLING the tcloth,do you think those picnic tcloth holders would work??

So.....is Trace Atkins covered up? Or can you still see him? (haha)

The flannel tablecloth is also great for taking to retreats.

Oh yeah, Trace is still very visible. Yes, I think you could use those picnic table cloth holders. If you decide you need a table cloth and don't have another one ,you could use this one and then just replace it.
