Look, it's an actual design wall!

I've been complaining forever that I don't have a suitable place to set up a real design wall. The walls in the sewing room slant. The walls in the rest of the house have doors and windows and furniture. There just isn't a flat surface that's big enough. Unless I put it in the boys' room....not a good idea....

But look what I've suddenly got!

It's actually just a flannel sheet hanging across the three doorways at the end of the kitchen. I can't leave it up for longer than an evening or afternoon, but it gives me a big flat surface to  use when I want to take pictures. I was using thumbtacks to hang the same sheet over the big windows in the living room, but that meant clearing out the kids and waiting for a time of day when sunlight wouldn't give my quilt tops that stained glass look. This is much better! 

The blocks on the wall are for my Hobo Quilt. I need to get to work on this one again. It's been almost a year since I packed the blocks away.  

I did not paint my kitchen ceiling that color. I'm not even sure what that color is supposed to be. You can blame me for the pale green walls. To see more design walls, head over to Patchwork Times.
