My design wall is my floor. I keep thinking it's time to get a design wall and yet I never do. Can anyone spell frugal? (Yes. C H E A P)

Ummm, Billi, we seem to have the same problem, only yours is bigger! I look forward to seeing your solution. Beautiful blocks though. 
I took a few minutes and tossed all my blocks on my design wall.
Holy busy batman
not going to lie it's much busier than I was anticipating......But I love them 
my original plan I was not going to sash them well thats no longer an option I need to calm them down, I'm thinking black. I also have a center medallion I made that these will surround I'm going to have to adjust so I sash theses.
Once again thank you all for the really wonderful blocks [ATTACH=CONFIG]563079[/ATTACH]

I have the ultimate frugal story. My Gma grew up extremely poor, at 15 had a baby and was on her own w/ him (husband left) so had frugal carved into her psyche at a very early age. Now flash forward to her late 40's w/ a comfortable income. She bought a bottle of shampoo at the dollar store, didn't pay more then 1 dollar for it, it was apple scented and DARK green. My Gma (and my father and me) greyed very early in life so at this point she is nearly completely white headed. This dark green shampoo is tinting her hair green. Everyone is telling her her hair is green she is refusing to acknowledge the green hair b/c she would have to throw out the $1 bottle of shampoo .......... it takes her nearly a year to use the bottle only after she had used the last drop did she finally admit ............. "it may have had green highlights"!!!!

LOL, Kassandra! Your Gma must have been a character.
My design wall is a guest bed or the floor. I want to hang a piece of flannel on the wall to stick blocks to. How is it done? Can you wrap flannel around some insulation board or something? And where would I get super wide flannel?

A glorious day to look fwd to! My granddaughter, years ago, said if she got to go to heaven before me, she would save me a seat on the couch next to Jesus. She must have been 4 or 5 and she wanted my assurance that I would save her a seat! I bet your G'ma is saving you a seat, Kass! ❤️
