I've managed to lay out the framework for the entire surface of the quilt top; 7 across by 8 down.  I can't even begin to explain how amazing and useful it is to have a design board like this to work on.  No more standing on furniture while laying out pieces on the ground!  I have another quilt I need to start at the beginning of next year and, instead of putting this quilt away for the time being, I believe I will build myself another design board on the adjoining wall.  Ah...sweet, sweet, spacious luxury!
