I usually do it on the floor but when I can, I put tables together where my quilting group meets (at a local elementry school) and try to get it done there. It sure beats kneeling and bending over on the floor. :P

when i make king size quilts i either move everything out of my dining room and use the floor , i have gone to a local church not to far from me and we have a civic center here also and i use the room and the tables there one time i cleaned the patio blocks on my patio and layed it out on the patio
well it sounds like i have just been all over the place |
At my local quilt store --- there are several tables I can put together and use and that's if there are no classes, etc.

They sell 2 inch thick syrofoam that is used for insulation
and Pin to that. We hung it on a wall so it is permanent. Works wonderful for laying it out and such. Angeline Sheets are 5x10 feet |

I just strip my bed, put the sheets into wash, and use my mattress.

I have a pool table that my DH puts a piece of plywood on, really saves the knees. If not I would go up to my church and use the folding tables there, howev er even that can be hard on the back,I like the wall idea.

Went looking for the Sharon Chambers technique and could not find it, could you be more specific?

My Honey made me a quilting frame.Very cheap and easy to make.

I actually do big quilts on two of those plastic foldable tables 3 1/2 by6 feet or so. I put the tables next to each other. I just makes sure I move it around and just drop the section I am not working on off the table while I smooth and spray baste/pin the section that is on the table. I can do Cal King this way. It take sa little patience but it works. You can also do it on the floor but that is hard on the knees and back.
