I use my grandmothers's 100+ yo quilt frame! I attach the backing with pins, stretch it out on dining room chairs and use c-clamps to hold it. Then I put the batting and top on, and pin or baste. If the top is too big I roll one or both sides until I can reach the middle. Rolling is best done with 2 people, but it's not impossible for 1 person to do. DH helps me. If I am hand quilting, I leave the sandwich on the frame. If I am machine quilting, I pin pin pin. Good luck.
