I live in a small cottage and quilt in my caravan when I go travelling. Both of these have very small floor spaces. I use the method mentioned above it is great.
I also tend to do quilt as you go so I only use small squares to sandwich at a time. Problem comes when joining them all but done it sections even makes that possible the final long seam is the biggest and heaviest problem.
I must admit I use 505 to do my blocks sometimes. .

I also live in an RV. My last quilt (a Queen size) was done on my small dining room table. When it was time to sandwich it I found the RV Park we are staying at has a blank wall on their big tool shed. I used push-pins to hang the backing, spray basted that, then hung the batting. It smoothed out beautifully ! Sprayed that and hung the top with more push-pins...it was so easy to quilt without the worry of pinning. Where there's a will...

Sharon Schambers video on rolling on wood and pinning or glueing is great. I use this methods in my caravan which does have a long table . I have been known to put the table up outside and cut or baste in t he sun.
