Before I bought my Bailey, I had tried the quilt in sections, puddling, wrapping with the clips(which are in the yard sale things to sell), cutting the batting in thirds and only quilting the middle, then adding one of the other thirds, etc., and quilt as you go, none of them worked particularly well for me, but there IS one thing I didn't see mentioned here and that a "suspension" system, which is what I'm rigging up for my Bailey. I don't have any links to a pic but it should be easy to find on the 'net.
