Start with the quilt centered on the boards. The ones I use are 6 ft long. When you have basted the center you can reposition to each end. You need to keep the fabric layers even on the ends where there is no board. I use my dining room table with leaves inserted and a plastic protector. There are, no doubt, other ways of doing dealing with large size but this worked for me.
