I don't know what Ricky uses, but he might not be able to reply quickly because he's "bizzy". You can make a design wall easily by covering inexpensive cord board with flannel. You could use flannel fabric, a flannel sheet, or the flannel back of flannel backed oil cloth. I bought a white flannel sheet at a thrift store for $1 to make one large design wall, and a flannel backed white oil cloth tablecloth to make another smaller one. My sample blocks stick to both very well. I also used a large white flannel sheet to display the optional blocks returned each month to my quilt guild, while I was the Optional Block chairperson.

Hi,
I was working on my Rapsody and very glad that I finly could start cutting some fabic. I toke my freeserpaper and irion it on my fabric....
There was just a little thing, I forgot that there was scotchtape ( plakband in dutch) on the freeser paper. Now I have to cleen my iron and make a new template. Lucky that Ricky told us how to do that. I thing he had the same problem but tell us that he lost a piece!!!!!
Yesterday I had to stop becaus I ran out of fabric my piecces are to smal. Tomorow I have to do some fabric schopping.
Lots of love from Belgium ops:

when visualizing your quilt based on your drawing of your templates, think of how fat quaarters are cut. to get a large square _ Ricky says 52 inches- If the 26 in. sq. was half the quilt you would have a quilt 26X52 . To get a 52 in square, a 26 " square is one fat qtr of the square or the upper left hand corner of the square then you need a lower left and an upper and lower right.
For those of us who are not visual thinkers, it might help you see it if you draw a small box and divide it into four pieces. or go back to your 8 in square skeleton you folded that paper in half so it was 4 x 8 rectangle then you folded it in half the other way and you had a 4 in square. That is the part Ricky is talking about for cutting your templates.
I hope this explanation helps you 'SEE" how it works. (my dh is not a visual thinker and I am so for 44 years I have had to draw pictures or describe things with simple comparisons if I want to get a project going - and even then we might argue so I understand how it can be confusing)

Hi Ann
I think the reason I and maybe and few others are having trouble is in the video ( close is good enough ) he has folded the freezer paper just like our little 8" square so this tells me that he will make the 26" square a full pattern so then how would that be 1/4th or is it folded once on the diagnal that I is believe where the confusion is . If the 26" sq. is 1 qtr. then he he would have folder 1x yes no....... :? Jean

Jean I am glad it came clear after some comments by enough people proves once again two heads or three or four are better than one. I think the reason that the video clicked with me is I am a farm girl and farms are done in qtr sections. So I just saw the old farm (now I haven't lived on a farm for 40 plus years but somehow those images always make the most sense to me) I am thinking about doing my templates on template plasic but I am not sure it is worth the extra effort and expense especially when I don't have to trace around the template and probably would not make two Rhapsody quilts from the same skeleton. What does any one else think. Maybe I will get clearer on things when I have time to work through step by step too many UFO's that have to get done before I can even think about doing any other project. so I continue to work in my teensy tiny work space called the motorhome where I have to leave room for dh. and it is getting hot again today in Minneapolis Ann

I know what you mean about trying to do things a little different, I thought doing the drawing with charcoal pencil, thought it would be easier to transfer the image, and it was but what a mess soooo I think Ricky`s #2 pencil is the way to go. My dad was born in Henning MN. on the farm there were 14 of them and Gram came from Sweden, Gradpa from Norway, she had a baby every 2 yrs until she had 12 then 2 yrs went by no baby and then 4yrs and she had twins my dad was 1 of them 13 was not a lucky # so she passed it by. Could you imagine twins at 45yrs old. April 7 2007 they would have been married 100 yrs going to make a quilt to celebrate the 100th birthday of our family tree.....jean

Hi all, I'm new to this forum but have been following the Realty blog since its inception. LOVE IT!!
Anyway, regarding the design wall, mine is made from insulation board (found at most hardware stores-ie, Home Depot) and covered with flannel. I was going to purchase batting, but was told it didn't work well with fabric adhereing to it. The fabric does stick well to the flannel.
By the way, I enjoyed reading your comments and suggestions, particularly regarding the freezer paper and dimensions.

Regarding doing somethings a little different-I made my first sketch on copy paper and rubbed the back to transfer the design. Then I remembered I had tracing paper. Much easier to copy all the sections.
