I agree with making smaller sections and sewing them together.
For a King size quilt, I'd probably make NINE smaller (approx) 35"x35" quilts (or whatever size you'd need them to be), and then sew them together.
(and while making the smaller quilts, I'd also start with smaller configurations, like 3x3 or 4x4, and sew them together.)
Definitely stabilizes and prevents wonkiness.
Also, it makes the whole project less daunting.
And you end up with only two really long seams to sew.
And echoing ScissorQueen's advice - map out your pressing strategy before you start.
Makes life a whole lot easier.
