Marti Mitchell has a book about quilting a quilt in sections that is very good. Ann Pederson teaches a Crafty class on Quilting Large Projects on a Small Machine that is outstanding as far as I am concerned. Doing a large quilt can be a real challenge. But, if you do it in sections, it becomes very manageable because the bulk is sitting on the flat surface to the left of your machine. I am doing a queen size right now. The quilt top was in three sections, I divided and marked the batting into three similar sections and I did leave the backing in one piece. I only had to move through the machine from top to bottom or visa-versa. I did the center section first and added the right section and then the left. It was a very controlled process and easy to do. I stabilized the sections with STID. Some quilting was done with the design drawn on paper from a roll purchased at the medical supply store and part was FMQ. It was not difficult-just organized.
