Default Tips for ironing/pressing large quilt tops and backings please

Oh dear, I think I may have bitten off more than I can chew! I have just finished piecing my quilt top and it has suddenly struck me that although it is the size I planned it to be.....in reality it is huge......96" square. The largest quilt I have done by a very long shot and whilst it is going to look great on my bed I am a bit overcome with how I am going to manage this monster!
Are there any tips or tricks for pressing such a large top and backing before basting? My ironing board is quaking in fear of the task ahead and I am perplexed as to how I can methodically press and then preserve each section without wrinkling it up when moving on to the next section. Any advice?
