Sew New to Me VQB Blocks and a New Design Wall
In the last week I received 3 more blocks! I’m getting really excited about this quilt. I need to get on it and finish the inner blocks I’ll be making – seen here if you don’t remember.
These blocks were sent to me by Lisa of Sophia Aster, Heather of A La Mode Fabric, and Lisa. And do you see how I have them displayed? It’s my new design wall! Ever since I saw Ashley of Film in the Fridge’s GIANT design wall, I’ve really really really wanted one. Ok, so mine is 1/6th the size. But it really works in the space and I think it will be a great place to display ideas while I hash them out.
It was really easy to make. I went to Ikea and bought the largest black frame they sold. I wrapped the plexiglass and backing in a piece of craft sized batting and hung the frame. So easy!

your design wall is a great idea! i may have to do that as well!
this looks terrific!!!
Very, very nice! I just put one up this weekend just using a picnic tablecloth attached to the wall. The backside is fuzzy so it works really well – not so nice looking as yours though
Great idea with the Ikea frame…I’m hoping to do this too as our living room floor is not the safest design spot.
Love those blocks! That’s going to be a gorgeous quilt.
Great blocks!!!
And the design wall is to die for! I’ll have to remember that next time I go to Ikea. FABULOUS idea!
