I found out recently that the center panel can be bigger than 48 inches. I have changed my settings to 100.
In EQ7, go to the quilt worktable. Click on "Quilt" (middle of the top row of words), then click on the last option "Quilt Worktable Options", "Layout Options", "All Styles". Change the first item from 48 to up to 100. Knowing this has made my life a lot simpler.
