If I have a quilt smaller than twin size and I really feel lazy I have often pinned basted it on my design wall. Just think vertical vs horizontal. My favorite method is the Sharon Schambers method, but I baste with quilter's safety pins instead of needle and thread.

I have two folding tables butted end to end that I use for her basting method. And I use my rolling office chair to sit in as I pin.
