Speechless!!!!!!!!!.............................

Oh my goodness...that is SMASHING!!!! I would love to own it but would never undertake it.

I can hardly wait to see the completed quilt. It is gorgeous. You are doing an awesome job, keep up the good work.

Beautiful... I love your color choices... so bright and cheerful! Keep up the gorgeous work!

Absolutely spectacular! What a work of art, your quilt is going to an heirloom quilt. :)

AngelinaMaria you are creating a Masterpiece! It totally takes my breath away. I love TessPug's idea of a piano key border too! Can't wait to see your finished quilt!

an absolute labor of love..your quilt is spectacular you should be very proud.

WOW--that knocks my socks off.

I can see why it is called an "OHMIGOSH" quilt. OMG. I thought that Charming Additions quilt (American Patchwork & Quilting, December 2012) that I am cutting for was ambitious at 1600 squares. You have outdone me. :thumbup:

What size are those blocks? Gorgeous colors and arrangement.

what a beautiful quilt! can't wait to see how you finish and quilt it!
You are brave to tackle so many small pieces...

That a show quilt, just spectacular! WOW!!! You must show this again.. PLEASE!!!

Angelina, this is a very beautiful quilt. I think white borders so they don't distract from the wonderful piecing. Don't know about piano keys....hummmm would have to see them to decide. Ellen

This is great, I've a lot of 1 1/2 " squares left from a baby Irish chain quilt. I could use them this way. Thanks for sharing.

Just stunning - such a load of great work.

WOW! Will be anxious to see it finished!

That is amazing!

Gorgeous! Love this!

Absolutely gorgeous !! Hope you're entering it in a contest, it would surely win !!!!

You are ambitious, but looks like you are making great progress on a beautiful quilt. What are the sizes of the blocks?

Aptly named Ohmygosh it is really! beautiful!

Stunning seems too tame a word to describe this quilt!! I can't imagine myself ever attempting something like that, not because I don't have the skill but because I'd get too bored. I'm glad you are not like me and posted this pic. I've enjoyed looking at your progress and admiring your skill. The blocks look very small, too. Keep up the terrific work!!

that is awesome... love it... if it needs a home contact me.. make sure it is done.. cuz i wouldnt do it... but absolutley love it... smile

This is amazing! I could never take on a project of that magnitude. Yours looks great, so please share it with us when it's finished.

Omigosh is right! The fabric selection alone would overwhelm me. Nice work! Keep at it.

First off, thank you all for the nice comments. I am still relatively new to quilting (and sewing) and am all self-taught. I saw the Dear Jane quilts sometime last spring for the first time and was blown away at how beautiful it was. But, I knew that it would take me years to accumulate the skills before I would be ready to tackle that. Shortly after that, through a google search, I found the Omigosh quilt. This quilt really doesn't require a great deal of quilting skills other than precision and patience. You have to be able to make a 4 patch and then put it on point; HST; and then lots and lots of 9 patches. Not too bad.

This quilt is a Suan Garman design and is called "Omigosh". She named it after the comments from her friends as she was assembling it at a retreat. It would appear she is from the upper midwest. If she was from Southern California, it would have been named OMG. Looking at Susan's other patterns, I would say she is the queen of drive you insane small piece quilts. They are all really stunning.

The quilt finishes at 70 by 88 inches but varyies depending on how you border it.

The tiny 9 patches finish at 1.5 inches (each square in the tiny 9 patches finishes at 1/2 inch). The double 9 patch and the shoofly block finish at 4.5 inches. There are 110 double 9 patches and 111 shoofly blocks. Within the double 9 patches, there are 550 tiny 9 patches. Within the shoofly blocks, there are 444 4 patches on point.

I would never tackle this quilt with pieces already cut up in 1 inch squares (I saw a blog where someone was starting this quilt and had bins and bins of cut up 1 inch squares)!!! That would be insanity. There are ways to strip piece this that make the process much easier. I discovered that even keeping the long strip pieces together while making the 4 patches and 9 patches make the blocks straighter and much easier as well. I imagine most people who have make this quilt discovered this process eventually. I had only cut up a few of my strip sets before I realized this. Sew the pieced 2 or 3 piece strip sets together, rights sides together with white squares off-set, then press open, then cut so they are exactly .75 inches on each side of the seam.

Since before i even started this quilt, I have been wondering how I want to quilt it??? That will be something that will have to be carefully considered. I believe all the examples I have found online (there are not too many) have used an all over meander. I definitely want something more special but not sure what.

My goodness, you have undertaken a mighty job but the results will be spectacular. It looks like a once in a lifetime quilt. Best of luck.

Omg...that's amazing!

WOW is the best word I can come up with!!! It describes the quality of your work, the choice of your colors, and your willingness to undertake such a HUGE project. ~What a BEAUTIFUL quilt~

Wow!! I'm speechless. Please keep us updated! When you post new threads, link them here so we don't miss anything. :)

Fabulous; simply fabulous!!!

i'm in awe!! what a beauty. keep us posted.

Never saw one of those before! Oh My Gosh is right! Just stunning :-)

OhMyGosh is RIGHT! This is fabulous, and such a lot of work has gone into it. Can't wait to see it finished!

This is absolutely breath taking.....really love it!
A piano key border would just add to the color in this quilt. You have a ton of patience..

I love it! It is beautiful! OMG that is a lot of little pieces! Thanks for sharing.

Just beautiful. I haven't read all 16 pages (!) of comments but my immediate reaction when I read your very first posting, about the border color, was I wouldn't. That was a surprise, I'm big on borders, but this quilt is so spectacular I'd just leave it as is.

Well, the name is perfect! I have been uttering Oh-my-gosh for the past thirty seconds. Lovely! What a goal and what a beauty!

WOW What a show stopper! Love the use of color and design!!
