I have a folded cutting board that is that size. I have birthed a quilt that size and just placed it on top of the board on my bed. You could also place your cutting mat on your table and start pinning or tying from the center out which works really well. You can tape or clamp to your table. This is where 'shims' come in handy so the clamps don't mar your table or surface.

I would then turn it, trim the edges and close up the hole.
I was thinking since there is no worry about batting shifting, I could just do some random tacking stitches here and there to hold it together. Meaning I won't be quilting it per se. I'd probably stitch the edges too.
Is there anything wrong with my plan?? I'm making it up as I go.
