I have sweet talked DH into helping me. I need him to cover the Home Despot part of the project. I did some research at Britex a few years ago and think I know what I will get to cover the masonite or Insulfoam. I am using <a href=\"https:\/\/quiltinjenny.blogspot.com\/2016\/04\/design-wall.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Quiltin&#8217; Jenny&#8217;s guide<\/a> as my basis as she has practical tips. My goal is to have a firm back so I can press patches and blocks on to the design wall. We will paint this room sometime, so I need to be able to remove the wall without too much trouble.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I sold my design wall.
