I found this stand on amazon.com. It will expand to 12' wide and 10' high. It comes in a good quality case with a carrying strap. It adjusts easily and has tripods on the uprights. I did have some trouble setting it up with a big quilt, on the grass, on a somewhat windy day (attached picture - DH is holding one pole steady) - but on a flat surface, without the wind, it will work great.

(Yes, you've already seen this quilt - but I'll bet you've never seen such a good picture of it!)
