Design Wall Flannel

Design wall flannel
Kaffe Fassett: “The most important tools we use in patchwork design are a flannel covered design wall and a reducing glass.”

Our grid-printed grey flannel is the perfect tool providing a neutral background on which to design and arrange patchwork pieces. Make sure you hang the flannel on a firm surface, such as against a wall and secure the top and sides in place. It won’t work if it swings in the air.

Simply place the patchwork pieces against the flannel. You won’t need to use pins as the brushed fibers of the flannel allow the fabrics to cling to it. Designing your quilt on a design wall this way makes rearranging your design easy. Changing the location of a colour or rearranging a pattern is so simple. Take out any patches that just won’t work well in the design.
