I took the picture above 5 minutes ago and the sun was actually out and shining happily through the sheers, which did nothing to help take a good photo. At least you can see how big this monster will be!!
In total, I received 34 (I think this is correct!!) blocks from 21 people. Last weekend I was busy sewing a few more blocks so that I can make this a king size quilt/bedspread for our king sized bed.
However, 49 blocks just didn't seem enough to cover the bed how I wanted it to so I added a 5.5 inch border all the way around. I used yummy Kona purple (I forget the name of the colour). This makes my quilt a KING KONG size and it is now DONE!

I will need to visit my local quilt store - The Village Haberdashery - this weekend for backing fabric because the purple was meant for the backing not the borders! I feel like I am sewing like a maniac because I want to get it all done so I can take it on Sunday to our LMQG meeting where Debbie - one of our members - is a long-arm-sewist-person! I am going to hand over King Kong Wonky so that she can work her magic and quilt it for me!
But I have to finish the back first...

Can't wait to see it...looks fantastic and super sized. Well done you and the worker bees!
I think that is lovely! The blocks are so unique! I think the purple border adds something to it!
What swap group are you in?
This looks fantastic! The color palette is great, and while I'm not always a border person, I like what it did for this quilt.
Love your king kong wonky quilt.
Great work, this looks fantastic, can't wait to see it finished! : )
I love your crazy log cabin quilt, the colours are just great. I think I actually prefer wonky to straight!
Its wonderful!
Its huge! Don't blame you for giving it to Debbie, even I would consider it for something that big. What are the dimensions?
it's fabulous! But why are you not quilting it yourself on your machine??? ;-)
It is truly lovely. Thank goodness you aren't going to try and squeeze that under the machine throat! We might never have seen you again! Di x

Love the wonky block and your color choices. Thanks for sharing.
Love the colors and wonky log cabins of course! Can't wait to see how it is quilted!
2 Bees ( or not 2Bees..) what an organised girl you are... That is looking fantastic... And a long arm is essential for sanity...
