Should you use a layout cloth??

I seen in a Clotilde catalog a cloth to hang on the wall to attach your blocks on to choose your layout on. It looked like a big piece of flannel.
Would a piece of flannel purchased in fabric store work.
Any suggestions would be welcomed, as you can tell I'm new.

You can buy a large size piece (width and length) to hang on your wall or put it on your bed or floor to layout your pieces. If on the wall just pin up your pieces. I have mine in my half of the garage. LOL. It works great out there. Sometimes I put it on the bed to take the squares to the machine.

I just had a week long thread about making a design wall. It's so simple, and very inexpensive. Some just use a flannel backed table cloth from the Dollar store. This version folds up to get out of the way. If you have a large wall and plenty of space, making one more permanent would be a great thing for you.

Mine is really fancy -- I put a flannel backed table cloth on the wall (flannel side out) using some long sewing pins. The table cloth was on sale for a couple of bucks, they come in a variety of sizes and if you want to move it, very little damage to the wall. I really have a difficult time buying into some of the expensive quilting stuff out there.
