Making an "Oh My Gosh" quilt--pure insanity or not? I'd love some tips from the sage.

I have not made that pattern but I have seen one and all I can say is "oh my GOSH! I see you are using Fairy Frost and it is lovely but be careful with ironing it. I ironed some white and I found that the right side stuck to my iron. When ironing make sure to iron from the back.

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,

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.

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'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!
