ITA with you, Tartan ... the finish on Fairy Frost is like plastic, and IMHO just not a nice fabric as a result. I bought a couple of pieces and until I started to work with it, didn't realize what it was like. As a result, the pieces are stashed in my stash!

I found the fabric to be a bit thicker, so the seams on one that small might pose a challenge. It will be beautiful though! Good luck,

Good thought, Applique ... with that plastic-y finish, I found the fabric just didn't press out very well .... or then you end up with it melting as Tartan mentioned!

For an OMG quilt, pressing at every step would be important to get the best results ... and I think Fairy Frost would just be a nightmare! All IMHO and based on my own experiences with it.

Googled "ohmygosh" and can find lots of pictures but not the pattern. Where did you get yours? Thanks

I purchased the pattern from Quakertown Quilts. It hasn't arrived yet but I am excited to get it and hope it has helpful tips on pressing and dealing with small pieces.

I have been thinking about the possible issues with the Fairy Frost and think it could be a tough issue. Now I 'm not sure if I should pick different fabric or at least try it and either have good results or just ok results. I think I'll post a new thread asking specifically about Fairy Frost.

you can also try using a pressing cloth to keep your iron from getting gummed up. there are several board members who have made this quilt, perhaps they can give you some great tips. do a search on the board for the threads. here are a couple of them.

The best way is to give it a try ... don't cut out all your fabrics til you do a test run for it. You'll know pretty quickly as to whether you want to use it or not.

You've already received a lot of good suggestions, so I'm not sure you'd garner much new info in a new thread. Rather you'd be more likely to gather more confusion!

I don't think I'll ever make this quilt. But never say never!
