I'm looking for creative solutions for small(er)-spaces. For example, I'd really like to keep my pegboard, on which I hang rulers, rotary cutters, templates and a few other odds and ends. I thought I might hang it in the front hall closet (which is double wide and extra deep), but my mom suggested I might be able to put it on a wall in the dining area, and hang a quilt over it using a decorative curtain rod. (I've got a small double-bed CW quilt that would be perfect for this.) Then I wondered about doing that with a design wall... then my head exploded!
So, what thoughts or suggestions do YOU have for quilting in a smaller space? (And on the cheap, of course!) Here's the space, although my apartment is the mirror image of this diagram:

I think the whole curtain rail thing could work - you could put the pegboard on the wall, and a curtain rail (which extends out from the wall a little) so you can hang a quilt - then you can either have a "design wall" made of flannel or something, which you can pull across the space. Or you could have a flip up (down) flannel sheet or something which would roll down over the pegbaord as necessary but still be hidden by the display quilt... Hmm, just thinking aloud - I'm sure you'll come up with something!
