My first quilt was made 'quilt as you go', I made a double Irish chain and I found putting it all together not as difficult as I first thought and it gave me a chance to brush up on my hand stitching when I sewed the back seams.
To get the wrinkles out I'd mist it and toss it in the dryer on air or for five minutes on delicate.
You can't tease us and not show us the finished project...so you have to finish it.. :D
