Default Need advise on cutting long pieces of material

I am going to begin making a bridal quilt for my granddaughter that marries in May. (Getting a head start so won't be under a lot of pressure. LOL)

It is the 'Country Bride Pattern', if you are familiar with it.

My problem is that it's side borders are 2 cuts of 16 1/2 inches by 112 inches LOF. I have never cut that big of a piece before. I know I can fold it, but am so scared of cutting it with an elbow and ruining it. The only place I have to cut is on a table that is about 60-plus long and about 3 ft. wide.

Any suggestions on how to do this? I'm going to get the material as soon as I get off the 'puter and am hoping someone has a solution.

TIA
