Anything is possible. It is a matter of how much you want to fight with the quilt. I use an old L shaped computer desk for my sewing machine. The sewing machine sits on top of the desk. I just got done quilting a lap size quilt. I found that putting the ironing board next to the edge of the desk extended it just enough to hold it on the left of the sewing machine. I then found some books to level out the area behind the sewing machine. Was not the best, but it worked. Until I can get a better sewing desk, this is what I have to do. Hope this helps.
