In my Kristi Lundrigan novel, Delectable Mountain Quilting, I talk about Kristi laying out fabrics on her design wall. I thought I’d show you what I mean. We installed flannel covered Homasote board on one wall of my sewing room. Quilt blocks or pieces of fabric stick to the flannel, allowing the quilter to see the design before she sews.
Here’s my design wall in use for a color wash quilt that will be king-size when complete.
And here are a few after I added the first leaf applique…
Finally, here some of views of the finished quilt! *whew*
And now you know all about the value of a design wall 😀
