Well I managed to press each of the blocks nicely – long task! Now they’re all on the design wall. I took a photo for you. The blanks spaces will have plain white squares. When I’ve sewn them all together I’ll take some close-ups for you.

I just put this up on my design wall (a very grand name for a $7 flannel-backed vinyl tablecloth) and I thought I’d interrupt my travelogue to let you take a peek at my latest project. What do you think?

I’ve seen what looks like a great idea at the US website the Fabric Depot. This is it…
It’s a Fons & Porter design wall. It’s flannel on one side and the other is vinyl with a grid and diagonal lines marked on it. The lines show through to the flannel making it easy to line up your blocks. I’ve never used a design wall and at US$18.75 plus postage this looks like a great idea. Has anyone of you used one? And if so, do you like it? Please let me know what your experience of it is.
