In the future you might want to consider using a QAYG (quilt as you go) method. That way you can make them as big or small as you want. I don't like hand work so column quilting is my favorite method for larger quilts. I do 50" x 60" as whole quilts. I do alter the method in the youtube in that I make the back in one whole piece and only add the new column and batting each time. I also leave a minimum 1/2" for sewing. This has saved me a ton of cash over the years. Candy has 4 videos on this subject.

I use 505 spray basting and roll on the boards method for basting. Pool noodles aren't long enough for most of my quilts.
