Quilt the middle third...re-attach one side of the batting-- pin or baste that section and quilt. And then repeat with the last side. I have done this with a king size quilt and it makes the quilting so much easier. Just make sure you do not catch the part of your backing and top that is on either side !!!
I was just about to mention this also. I did a king this way recently, and it worked well. I purchased the Craftsy class on Quilting Large Quilts on your DSM (Ann Peterson is the teacher), and followed her steps. I must say, tho, that I do have a machine with a bigger throat, so that also helped.
Now, on to my CatCave to figure out what my A and B will be!
