The following is how I do queen and king quilts

1. Complete top in 3 sections.
2. Back is to be completed as a whole<o

3. Batting is to be cut into 3 equal sections<o

></o

>
4. Sandwich the center section of the top, 1/3 of the batting in the middle of backing.<o

></o

>
5. Quilt this section <o

></o

>
6. Lay one of the side sections on top of the center section with right sides together. Pull the backing out of the way. I usually pin the 2 sections together.<o

></o

>
7. Sew these two pieces together the same seam width as the rest of the quilt.<o

></o

>
8. Pull the backing and top out of the way and zig zag a new section of batting to the center section of batting<o

></o

>
9. Quilt this section from the center section out having the bulk of the quilt to the left side of the machine.<o

></o

>
10. Repeat numbers 6,7, 8, 9<o

></o

11. Add any boarders and quilt each boarder.<o

Finish and bind.
