Default Ironing tricks?

Okay, I'll admit, I got myself into this situation and I have nobody to blame but me.

I did a modified Irish Chain for a friend - ostensibly for his wedding, but then he went and eloped a couple of months before the wedding. I have promised to finish before his first child is born. Why the extension?
Because I have all of these stupid 9-patches that are 4 1/2" finished blocks, on a queen-sized quilt, and I pressed all the seams open because that's what I always do, but now it needs ironed again and it took me more than three hours to iron just the top three rows of blocks.

By my calculation, that leaves me with another 20-something hours of ironing left to go. And then I still have to quilt the dang thing.

Is there an easier way?
