My cutting table just isnt big enough to lay it all on, and I cant work on the floor because it kills my back. I dont have room for a larger cutting table. I think that may be the hardest part...at least for me...but then I am not good enough to do really complicated quilts.

What doesn't fit gets taped to the underside of the table. I pin what is on the table and then I remove the tape, move the quilt over for the remainder and tape again. It seems to work pretty well. Might be a problem for a king or queen but I think it would work for pretty much anything else.

Its not my favorite part of making a quilt either. Our library lets you use one of their rooms, we shove tables together, and thread baste. its great when there are 2 or 3 of us. We all bring a quilt and help one another. It goes pretty fast, and at the end of the day we all have a quilt ready to quilt.
