I took one of the insulation panels from the home improvement store (4ft x 8ft), covered it in batting and flannel and mounted it on the wall. If your DH is crafty, he should be able to come up with something. Google quilt design wall and you'll see several sites with instructions.

I made mine with a 2 yard piece of felt from Joanns. Sewed a sleeve in one end and then used a slat from Home depot and some nails in the wall to hang it. About $15 invested and I love it.

I had a design wall before I had a sewing room. It's something I have to have if I'm going to quilt.

I had one back home that was a bulletin board with batting tacked to it.

I like the idea of a bulletin board for a design wall to take to the retreats with me, never seems to be a design wall open when I need it. This would be easy to travel with.

My problem is that I'd be tempted to pull it down and use it in a quilt when it came time to buy batting :D

I use the back of a plastic table cloth that has the felt stuff on it. You can also use head liner material, it is the stuff they use for the inside roof of your cars. (now don't be running out and tearing off the one in your car)

Oh trust me I've been thinking about that, but luckily it was cheap enough and I love it so much it *should* be safe (maybe ) :D

I have a folding screen with batting draped over it that i use since my walls are covered.

I have one large quilt where I pinned a flannel sheet to my living room window..only large enough space.. That one is a UFO I need to pull out, maybe for March:)
