    Cheapest is a cheap vinyl table cloth from big lots. It can be hung over a door. It can be rolled up with the project inside.....transporting is easy It can be mounted to boards with staples. place the fuzzy side to the outside. your pieces will stick to the back fuzzy side. $3.00 or so

    Do a search and there are many great ideas. I use the flannel back of cheap plastic table cloth.

    I've gone the vinyl tablecloth route. I have it push-pinned to the wall.

    2 -glannel backed table cloths stuck pinned to the bottom of the guest bed which is tied UP to the wall when no company is using it. The room is a dual purpose room.

    That's my plan. I bought 2 so I could sew them together for larger projects. Closing in on needing to use them but haven't yet. I'm hoping everyone here is right about this plan!

    Cream colored fleece attached to the wall with Velcro - on side sticky, one side sew on. It goes up and down easily. Blocks adhere well to the fleece.

    Ditto that. I have several, actually, layered on top of each other on the basement wall with different projects. I just roll and tie up the table cloths with ribbon to the one I want to work on :thumbup: I did have 4 going, but got the Matching Game done, so now it's just Bug Jars, Fruit Jars, and Candy Jars.
