The wonky stack & whack quilt I started a few months ago for my friend's daughter sat neglected for at least the last month, with our trip and the Christmas holidays I just didn't have time or motivation to get going on it. I had all of the blocks completed and some even sewn into rows already in December, but finally this week it all came back out and I got on a roll and finished assembling them.
This is half of the blocks, fully assembled (Well, as much of it as you can see, hanging over the curtain rod! Each half is 6 blocks x 4 blocks). I have another half finished as well which is not pictured. Last time I made a large quilt I left the final seam joining the two halves until I was ready to baste. This way I can press each half, then sew the seam and baste right away to avoid having to press an unwieldy fully pieced top. It worked great for me last time so I'm sticking with it this time!

Pretty! I am digging your colours here - esp those fun purples.
This is looking great!
Clever to do two big halves. I'll try that : )
I love the idea of joining, pressing and basting at that last step! And this is a very pretty quilt too!
Very nice top. It is a good idea to leave the top in two pieces so you can iron it. Thanks for sharing.
it looks lovely. It will end up a fair sized quilt :-)
So pretty! I love using the curtain rod as a quilt holder - I might have to try that!
Love how bright and cheery this is. I can't wait to see the finished product!
Looks awesome! I love your technique to avoid pressing a giant top. :)
Clever technique...sweet quilt top.
