I think it kind of depends on how much room you have to layout your quilt. I don't have any! Honest! I have 5 cats and 2 dogs, there is no place to "lay out" a quilt. I actually use my design wall which is covered with corrigated plastic---old political signs--and I pin my quilt to it.

But I digress, you work in sections, I do it even for smaller quilts. Lay out your backing, mine is pinned to the wall, tape yours to the floor? (I don't know I've not done it that way) Lay out you batting, pin it at several spots to keep it from shifting, roll back a 1/4 to about center, put down your glue lay your batting on top. Repeat with the kitty-corner 1/4 then the other 2. Repeat with the top just have your glue going perpendicular to the glue you put down first
