Quilting is a learned process. My first quilt I did in sections and from then on that's the way I go for larger ones. I'm investing in rulers for fmq with templates. Since I don't have a top made currently, once I do I'll take a picture of it. Make a drawing of each block and start there. There also are rulers that you can use for an all-over quilting so you don't have to do a lot of planning and thread breaks.
