Removable quilt design wall - wise craft. Our slowish week's end continued into the weekend, I'm happy to say.
I got a chance to work on the value quilt, which I am also calling my stash quilt, because I've dug through every bit of it for this one. As I was beginning to put the quilt top together, it was clear that I was going to have a tough time making sure I was placing all the squares the correct way. There is no room in my small studio to lay out the squares, and the dining room table would be too temporary, making me feel rushed. I have always wished I had the room for a full sized quilt design wall, but there is no real wall space in our house to make that happen.
But necessity being the mother of invention, I came up with the idea to make a temporary design wall, one that can be easily put up when needed, and easily taken down when not. I bought 4 yards of 45" cream flannel, cut it into four 1yd pieces. Things make so much more sense when you can stand back and look at them fully, don't they? I should get busy.

Gift of Les Hollings and the Australian Textiles Fund 1989. Click to ZOOM The Rajah quilt is one of Australia’s most important textiles, and a major focus of the National Gallery of Australia’s Australian textiles collection. Its story is one of hope and persistence, and has been a central subject of study into colonial life since its rediscovery in 1987. ‘To the ladies of the convict ship committee, this quilt worked by the convicts of the ship Rajah during their voyage to van Dieman’s Land is presented as a testimony of the gratitude with which they remember their exertions for their welfare while in England and during their passage and also as a proof that they have not neglected the ladies kind admonitions of being industrious.
