When I put the backing fabric down, either on my sewing room table (up to lap-size) or the tile floor (bigger than lap-size) I tape the corners and sides of the fabric to keep it from shifting while I'm pinning the layers together:
I start in the center of the quilt when I pin everything, and I use safety pins now because they don't stab me while I'm hand quilting. Every quilter has their own method of pinning or basting; I like to pin every six inches to prevent shifting and bunching.

I'm not getting sick of seeing this! It's going to look wonderful.
Have you tried the pin covers? They're so much easier on my hands though your guy would probably have to put them on the pins to start, but their made for people with arthritic hands, long nails or people who's fingers just get tired when working with a lot of safety pins.
