I have glued quilts on my bed (put protective sheet on top first) and/or on a 2' x 4' table. If you glue your quilt on the bed first thing in the morning it should be good to go by noon or at least before you go to bed at night. When I use my small table I start at one end and work my way to the other end then leave it draped (sorta centered) on the table over night. I usually do my gluing in the evenings. I use either Elmer's or washable school glue from Dollar General. Both work well.
