My design wall is made from an old flannel sheet that Emmy Bo used to have in her crib. I have simply pinned it on to my wall. The wonder with the flannel is that your fabric pieces stick to it and you can move around and re-stick your cut pieces however you want to arrange them. This way it is easier to keep track of finished pieced rows of squares and the order they come in, without having to pin post it notes with numbers on them. You avoid the disaster of laying out your pieces on the floor and having a kid running across turning them all into a whimsical tornado in a second. They just stick right there and stay there.
I literally couldn't live without my design wall and I am planning on making it even bigger in the future. This one is about 42x52 inches/105x130 cm, big enough for a baby quilt but to small for a large quilt... The dream would be to have a whole wall as a design wall. Oh my!!! How fun wouldn't that be?
This weekend I am hoping to finish those pillow covers and maybe even the table runner. Time will tell. Some little ones are also expecting some ginger cookie baking and decorating...
Next week I'll share another favorite crafty tool of mine. Happy Friday and enjoy your weekend.

I would love a design wall. It sounds very practical but I am more motivated because now I see how lovely it can look with pieces of beautiful fabric stuck to it. I love when beauty and function come together.
ReplyDeleteOoh, very clever! Must convince my husband that I need one ;-)
