I do it the Sharon Schamber method. I have a 6' folding table and use that. I need another board. was raining one day and hubs was needing that size board. So rather than trapse through the rain I let him cut it up. I have also done it at my kitchen table and it's relaxing because I can watch a movie while doing this. One thing different I do if I am not going to get to quilting it soon after is to go a head and put a couple holding stitches or a few pins in the center point of the quilt and a couple feet outward. I pin out like a starburst, up and down like a cross then diagonally like an "X". doesn't take that much time if you do it as you go.
