I tend to do smaller projects, my bed's a twin sized so the quilts aren't too bad. I try to sew in smalled sections, joining with sashing once completed. I've tried my version on cotton theory(mix between cotton theory and french seam) to join the pieces together.Still a lot to handle but not so much material going through the small arm of my sewing machine. My sister makes rag quilts-just keep adding pieces/boarders to expand to right side. She has found that she likes to sew a final binding-giving it a more "finished" look instead of an ongoing project look.
