I used black fleece for my design wall. It's stretched on four foot widths of tentest. Total wall size 10'x7'-1/2".
It's been up for over two years now ... and I can't imagine working with out it. I NEVER need pins ..... and have had full sized quilts totally sewn together displayed on it for weeks at a time. (pressed and waiting to go for quilting)
I also made some smaller portable design walls with the offcuts. Works great at the sewing machine and iron. Or for just putting a few pieces together.

Since I sew drapes I buy interlining/flannel used for silk panels, etc and I used 2 widths of this (54 inch widths) sewn together, the height of and width of one entire wall in my sewing room...I sew a small 1 inch rod pocket, top and bottom, inserted a thin 1/4 inch or so, Roman Blind plastic dowel type stick through the 2 rod pockets and put it up with thumb tacks..has been holding up fine..so far...and is extremely helpful for quilting

There are a lot of Possibilities.
I use a super thick double layer of extra wide cream colored fleece. I pin it to the wall with t-pins and take it down when not in use. It can even hold up a finished quilt.
