jtapp, all I have for a design wall is 2 plastic tablecloths with the flannel-like backs that I picked up at the thrift store for 50 cents each. They also have them at most dollar stores. I use 3 skirt hangers with the clips on them to pinch the tops of the table cloths, one on each end and one in the center to hold the two together. I hook the hangers over screws my DH put into the back hallway for me, but you could also hook them onto a window or closet door. When I am not using them I can fold them up out of the way, or just leave them up unless we have company coming as it's really not in the way back there.

Me too. That's why i havent ruled out adding the triangle to two opposite corners method. Not exactly the same thing but I would still come out with a pretty darned nice quilt!

At least that is all that I could come up with...lol
