What about getting big pieces of cardboard and placing them on your bed and pinning your quilt on your bed? Then you won't pin your blankets, with the cardboard down.

I have the same issue...two artificial knees. We have a king size bed. I set up a folding table with the legs on bed raisers, at the foot of the bed. I can then lay the quilt on the bed and pull up a small amount of the sandwich to work on at a time. I start with the center, then work my way down, up and out.

I use my glass topped dining table. I have to move the quilt to pin all of it. Sometimes I use a folding table or plastic saw horses with a cutting board on top. I have sandwiched so many quilts that it is easy for me.

I use the clubhouse in my community and put tables together to lay it out, spray it and put it together. My sister goes to her church and I know another person that goes to her school cafeteria. Use whatever works best for you.

Since I got my new knee (actually even before!) getting on the floor is not going to happen--I use the cutting table for smaller quilts and my bed for larger ones--slip your cutting mat between the backing and the bed cover and it gives a hard surface to pin baste or baste on so you don't get the wrinkles or baste to your bed cover!
