I set up 2 6ft folding tables in my living room to pin and quilt it. This was before we moved into our house and I had a sewing area. My kids thought it was quite a sight watching me do that one. It took me 3 days non-stop to do, sewing for 12+ hours each day, which I did on my days off of work. I quilted it on diagonals.
So glad you gave these details. You answered all the questions I was wondering about.
