I love the quilt. Since I haven't been able to get down on the floor for any reason and get back up, I do not put my quilt on the floor. You said that the quilt fits a table top, so that's what I would use, just trim up the extra pieces along the border and go for it. I use pin basting as I only machine quilt, but I use my table often and ifthe quilt is larger, I put my cutting mats on my DH's bed and he helps pin. His bed is easier to get around than mine, however, I find it better for me if I can sit and pin the quilt, starting at one end, then working towards the other, using masking tape to hold all 3 layers down on the table.
