Where can I buy that pattern? I looked last night for an hour and never did find a place that carries that pattern.
thanks

I've had a few people looking for the pattern and when I looked at the actual pattern I have, it is spelled OMIGOSH. So, no H after the first O. Sorry about that. This is where I got it and it is well over half off from when I purchased it.

I've also had a few people asking about if it would work using their scraps. The background squares in the double nine patch need to be 2 inches in size and you need 2.5 inch squares for making the 4 patches on point. The colored pieces of the shoofly require 2 and 3 inch squares. The colored tiny squares in the 4 patches and the tiny 9 patches should start with 1 inch strips. I would want to have at least 7 to 11 inch strips.

Personally, this is a huge undertaking and while I understand the desire to use your scraps, I would only do this if you have lots of available large "scraps". If you truly want to do this from small scraps, this will be a very long process and make the piecing process more difficult. However, you will have a really unique quilt. I think it is really about our dreams and what we desire. I am thrilled that a few people have said that they were happy just looking at my quilt. That is exactly what I have been hoping for. I know I got excited the first time I laid out all my fabrics to see how they looked together. It was a rainbow of happiness for me.

My quilt is displayed on my "design wall" in my dining room (the only open wall with enough space). It is simply a full size batting tacked to the wall. Fabric just naturally will "stick" to the batting (some people use a sheet of flannel). However, it is only lightly stuck as I learned the sad way a few months ago (my daughter brushed up against it when I had my one block wonder on it and several half hexagons fell down and were sucked up into my Dyson before she even knew what happened). I found a few blocks this morning partially hanging off the wall so I will need to make sure to pat down the lose looking ones every day or so.

I'll be glad to answer any other questions if you have them.

Incredible! I used to make quilts like that (a kajillion pieces), but my eyes and patience have grown thin over the years. Keep up the fantastic work!

labtechkty 01-14-2013 02:07 PM

wow that is going to be one truly gorgeous quilt...

hudgoddess 01-14-2013 02:40 PM

I have a Sunshine and Shadow wip that's been sitting for about 2 years now. I did all the 9 patch block and the solid blocks are all cut. But I just can't get back to it. I hope you muscle through the rough patches with yours, because it's just too beautiful to suffer the same fate mine did! Keep going!

JeannieT 01-14-2013 03:08 PM

I had seen a few threads about the Omigosh quilt but hadn't actually seen one. Now I know why it's called Omigosh!! It's stunning and I love your bright color choices. Can't wait to see the finished quilt.

I am leaning towards a border color of either pink, aqua or a purple as those are my favorite colors from this quilt. If you are making one of these, I'd love to see what you have done so far. It is nice to see other people's fabric and color choices. This is my first rainbow themed quilt but I have lots more imagined in my head so there will be many more to come. None quite as intense as this one though!!!

You will notice it looks a little funny in 2 spots and that is because I already attached 2 different sets of blocks together to see how my seams were matching and up and to make sure everything was going to nest properly. I think it will come together pretty well.

So beautiful! Can barely wait to see how you decide to quilt this.

Nonna Judi 01-14-2013 05:03 PM

JoanneS 01-14-2013 05:41 PM

OhMiGosh is right! It will be a wonderful quilt when you finish. I love the rainbow theme. I'd go crazy making all those 9 patches!

stashmaker 01-14-2013 06:39 PM

Wow! Very impressive.

sengell 01-14-2013 06:54 PM

Where in the world did you find this pattern? It is beautiful!

AnnaF 01-14-2013 07:44 PM

Quakertown Quilts carries this pattern, I ordered it today!

captlynhall 01-14-2013 07:48 PM

What an appropriate name! All I could say was "Oh My Gosh". That is incredible. I think the blocks with out the filler would make a nice quilt too.

diamondee 01-14-2013 09:14 PM

​I LOVE IT! great job. I'm not ready to tackle anything like that yet. I think its great!

I love rainbows, but I could never have the patience to to that tedious of a design. It is fantabulous!
And should it need a good home, I'd be glad to curl up under it!!!! hehehe!
