Default Heavy Quilt

Hi, While I am not trying to be a wuss, I finally finished my nephews All American quilt. Last night I started to put the binding on, the weight of this quilt just knocked me for a loop. The weight wasn't to bad making the quilt top, but once the batting and backing came together, it's heavy! The quilt is almost a double size and trying to sew the binding on, it just gave me great pains in my neck. Any suggestions on how to finish this large quilt without further neck pain? I use one of those cabinets that the leaf extends once you open the cabinet door, I tried putting all the quilt weight on this extension, but it is still so heavy. I dread finishing off my niece's quilt, it's at the long arm quilters now and it's a king size, when she got a new bed last December, I told her I would make a quilt for the new bed, boy am I in trouble.
