Oh well, I might just have to buy a bit more :) <br />I like leaving things up on my design wall, coming back a few days later, & suddenly choices all seem that much clearer! <br /><br />Linda @ kokaquiltshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01942832808800906728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8677609960973877465.post-87043997278997286722016-02-18T08:40:32.085+13:002016-02-18T08:40:32.085+13:00Thanks Maureen.

For years I had a flannelette sheet draped over the door, and that worked well too. <br />I use my design wall constantly now, auditioning shapes, colours, scale and I’ve found taking photos easier. Like you, I play, swopping things around & around, making no commitment to any one idea until I’m sure! <br />Linda<br />Linda @ kokaquiltshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01942832808800906728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8677609960973877465.post-6229107921298470402016-02-18T01:43:55.145+13:002016-02-18T01:43:55.145+13:00That fabric is so yummy ...

That six pointed star is such a great pattern; it looks lovely! I couldn't imagine my quilting life without a design wall, mine is just an extra wide piece of cheap flannel, works fine!

Though it would have to cover a window, since I don't really have any wall space...<br />I love playing with blocks - I could happily spend hours and hours just switching them around and admiring the effects! Can't wait to see what you end up with. In the meantime, enjoy the playing!<br /><br />gaylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11629856023631651681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8677609960973877465.post-32524793294927178602016-02-16T22:03:35.986+13:002016-02-16T22:03:35.986+13:00I have a simple white sheet on a wall and use it a...I have a simple white sheet on a wall and use it a lot to hang blocks, swap them around and look from a distance.
