After our quilt retreat a few weeks ago, I decided that my sewing room needed a quilt design board. There are instructions all over the internet and I thought really how hard can it be?
When I saw these 2ft x 2 ft insulation boards at my local Menard's I knew this is what I needed and it would make putting one together so much easier!. The boards were only $3.99 each and I picked up four of them giving me a 4ft x 4 ft area, perfect for what I needed.
My first step was to wrap batting around each of the boards. I used 505 spray on the batting so that it would adhere to the board making it easier to attach it with a staple gun.
And this is what it looked like once the batting was attached.
The next step was to take flannel and wrap that around the batting and the insulation. I used the 505 spray on the flannel as well. It sure makes it easier when you have a bolt of white flannel in your stash!

I used 1/2 inch staples which was fine until I got to the corners where there was multiple layers of batting and flannel. I managed with the 1/2 inch staples but 3/4 inch might of been better.
A few hours later (I had staple gun problems) the boards were done! We used long nails to attach the quilt boards to the wall and they work just fine! As you can see below the quilt boards are perfect for my needs! I can't wait to put this LOVE quilt together with the help of the design board.
