I spread a large sheet on the floor. When done for the day, you can pull the sheet edges up to top frame and protect the entire project...pets can't go under. Use pony/ pinch clamps to hold corners/ edges of sheet like a big bundle.
If your quilt is huge, you can buy a protective plastic drop sheet meant for painting at hardware stores.
