In making this quilt, I hung a temporary design wall for the first time. The only space big enough was my entryway.
It created a little chaos to have it there, but it was so helpful to be able to see the whole thing at once from a distance. Now I love seeing the finished quilt top hanging there every time I walk down my hallway.
Do you use a design wall? Where does it hang? Any great temp design wall suggestions?
Gorgeous!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beauty Andrea.
ReplyDeleteYes, I have a sort of temporary design wall. It is a vinyl tablecloth thumb tacked to the wall behind the door in my laundry room. Problem is I can only back up 4 ft. from the wall to look at my design. Not quite idea, but that's what I have.
Love all those colors
ReplyDeleteVery contemporary.

Kind of pricy but it does disappear.
What a jazzy looking quilt! Looks so improvisational but it hangs together wonderfully.
ReplyDeleteDesign wall~~~I have a movable design wall that works for me. A wide piece of flannel with a rod pocket sewn at the top, which holds a long wooden dowel. Screw eyes on each end of the dowel are attached to heavy fishing line. I hang it from S-hooks which fit over a picture-rail molding which is permanently installed all over my house.
Beautiful quilt! I saw it on the Mod blog and gave a "hoop" for you. I love how you've let the blocks spill into the border. Very effective.
ReplyDeleteit looks fantastic, Andrea! I love how the pattern spills out into the borders. so fun!
ReplyDeletei LOVE my design wall. it's not temporary, but mostly permanent. my hubs gives me a hard time because i use it for block storage rather than for designing, but it STILL is one of my favorite tools ever.
thanks for linking up to finish it up Friday!
