I needed a design wall and I have gone around and around about what to do. I thought about covering a board with some fleece and hanging it on the wall but this would take up space that I could hang my quilts. I have been taping my Fireplace Quilt onto the closet doors in my sewing room in order to look at it. It dawned on me that this would be the perfect place for my design wall as it is an unusable space for anything else but a closet door.I had some left over 3M Command Strip hooks and I stuck them to the little border above the closet door and bought some curtain clip rings to hang off the hooks. I then attached the fleece to the rings.
I now have a design wall that I can remove and store or pull aside in order to get in the closet! No more wasted space! I bought some little curtain weights in case I needed to weight it to hold it straight but I don't think I will need them. Problem solved!

VERY clever idea for the design wall. I'd never heard of a command strip before, though. Did you find it originally in a fabric store or a hardware store??? Your fireplace quilt is lovely, too; I'm anxious to see how you quilt it. Hugs, Cathy
WOW Brilliant!! If my doors were empty I would do the same thing!!
Cathy, 3M Command Strips are great! They are easy to remove and don't hurt the wall. You can get them anywhere like WalMart, etc. They hold different weights of stuff depending on the size you buy.
What an excellent solution, Kerri.
Nice border choice, too....!
What a wonderful idea to use the doors. I have been whining because I have no empty wall space in my small guest/sewing room, but do have a closet that I don't use regularly. Thank for the inspiration.
Excellent design wall idea.
