Plot to succeed — leave carrying large bed cover (9,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

patchwork quilt

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'cover' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'plot to succeed leave carrying large bed' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'plot' could be 'patch' (synonyms) and 'patch' is located in the answer.
'succeed' could be 'work' (work can mean to succeed at a purpose) and 'work' is found in the answer.
'large' could be 'l' (eg in clothes sizes) and 'l' is present in the answer.
'leave' could be 'quit' (quitting is a kind of leaving) and 'quit' is found in the leftover letters.
No letters remain.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for patchwork quilt that I've seen is " cover".)
