It's not too bad - yet :lol:
I have it all to the side and in front of me well supported. And I am working it a quarter at time from the middle to the edge. Then turning to the next quarter.
It's not easy right in the middle keeping the folds on the right squished up against the machine, but I just take it slowly.
I think the trick with doing one this size is not to work on it for too long a stretch at a time. I do about an hour then either go and do something else for a while and come back to it, or even call it quits for that day.
I am purposely quilting each block separately, rather than "travelling" because then I am only navigating 12" at a time.
