I am in the process of making my first bed size quilt. It's a twin XL for my brother who is going to college next month. Up until now, I've always made lap size quilts that I could sandwich on my dining room table.

So where do you work on bigger quilts? The only answer I could come up with is the floor, which I will do if there's nothing better.

Thanks :)

i have used the floor.. a bare wood floor if possible.. i use to get pins in carpet and attach them to my quilt.. i have a calif king bed and i now do it there with a cardboard quadfold board on it first.. works beautifully and no pins get stuck in bedding !

Please don't laugh I tack them on my hallway wall.

The church fellowship hall. Push several table together.

I also have a King size bed, but it's hard for me to bend over for any length of time, so I go up to our subdivisions clubhouse and push ALL the crafting(folding) tables together and have my DM or a neighbor help me put it together. Some have mentioned that they do this at their churches.

Once I made a larger quilt and a quilt shop let me use there tables. ( pushed them together) You could ask at a church, community center,library or sometype of meeting room that has tables. I can't get down on the floor, my knee's would take it.

Get a 4' x 8' piece of MDF or plywood, have it cut into 2 pieces 4' square and add a piano hinge so you have a large folding board or table top. I have even seen them in 3 pieces. This folding table top can be laid over your kitchen table and stored when not in use. Really saves your back...

could you show me how you make yours in picture, would be great...

I have used the community room in our library, pushing tables together :wink:
As well as my floor and wall... :D:D:D

Move the furniture back and tell everyone to step carefully, done it several times.
