The biggest one I've made gave me terrible troubles trying to quilt on my machine and I can't tell you how many times I poked my fingers on needles.

With that said, I am hoping to make one for the bed eventually...If my DH will ever give up the comforter he has on it now. :P
Well, try quilting one in more manageable sections, then sew you sections together, & quilt a tad near the seams if you feel the need to. That's how I did the one in my pic & it worked out great, as you can see. Think baby quilt size sections, then sew them altogether! Much easier that way!...
