@Lowena you could photo and computer manipulate your blocks. Unfortunately I cannot tell you how.

Or you could print them small out and manipulate them that way.
@Lowena you mentioned you have a tablet, I know on the Apple App Store there are several quilting apps that may help you if this is a road you might like to go down let me know and I will try to find them.

Thanks @Celia but I only have a basic Kindle Fire tablet , nothing sophisticated.

That wall needs a couple of pictures hanging on big hooks - take pictures down, put up maybe a thin net curtain rod between two hooks with fabric hanging from it - pin your blocks to it.  Remove when finished, pics back up on hooks.   :)

Something to consider though, thanks <3

@Lowena I've just measured my sewing room - it's only 7' 6" x 7'6",  yet I have fitted in a long desk that takes the sewing machine, overlocker and coverstitch along one side, a narrow top for my computer with cube storage underneath the window, then two of the narrow but tall Ikea Billy bookcases, and a big desk for my embroidery machine!

Methinks you're not being very practical with your room  0_0
