I have no idea how to quilt something this beautiful. That being said, as soon as you do get it quilted, get it insured. It's gorgeous and I can't imagine having to make a second one if something happens to your original. Thank you for sharing, it's a treat to have seen it.

Absolutly gorgeous!! I love this pattern. Started mine over a year ago,worked on it for along time, then other things got in the way, have never got back to it. Yours is an inspiration to me.

Lisa Marie 11-03-2013 06:35 PM

Glad you stuck with it and finished it is beautiful!

Grandma Peg 11-03-2013 06:40 PM

Just beautiful, can see why you tired of cutting and sewing. But it was all worth it!

lfstamper 11-03-2013 06:42 PM

Absolutely gorgeous! No idea on quilting.

Izy 11-03-2013 06:49 PM

I just love this quilt, all the gorgeous colours with the white is fabulous!!

It's a beautiful quilt. It would take me years to complete the top.

That is absolutely amazing, I can see why it took so long but look at how great it is! Pat yourself on the back for a job very well done. I think the size would work good on my king bed.

celwood 11-04-2013 04:29 AM

Oh, my. This is a beautiful job. I can't imagine cutting and piecing these small pieces

twinkie 11-04-2013 04:35 AM

That is just awesome. Just curious if you know the number of pieces in it.

A1penny 11-04-2013 04:42 AM

OMIGOSH.....you certainly did a great job! That quilt takes my breath away. I can't imagine the patience it took!

sparkys_mom 11-04-2013 04:46 AM

It is beautiful. I would never have the patience to make one so I'll just admire from afar. :)

DogHouseMom 11-04-2013 04:49 AM

Lovely!! I soooo love this pattern.

I too have one of them in progress. Started mine ... 2 years ago I think, then put it down when I had all of the double-nine-patch blocks completed ... for over a year to work on other stuff. I just picked it up again a few weeks ago actually and am also enjoying getting back into it! Mine is also a scrappy color on a mixed WOW background.

I don't know which overall patten I'll use to quilt, but it will be an overall pattern with some curvy elements. Whether I do it free hand or send it to someone with a panto ... not sure yet.

Well, your patience and diligence certainly paid off. What a beautiful quilt.

margied 11-04-2013 04:53 AM

It's beautiful but I can't imagine what you went through deciding the placement of all the little squares!

homecaregiver 11-04-2013 05:08 AM

OHMYGOSH I just love this quilt. You have done yourself proud. Did you hand piece or machine piece? I will have to find the pattern for this one for sure.
Thanks for sharing your beautiful quilt.

It is aptly named! It came out absolutely stunning! Congrats!

kalady 11-04-2013 05:49 AM

Wow what a lot of work-beautiful- glad you did not let it become a UFO

rosiewell 11-04-2013 06:49 AM

Beautiful! How many pieces are there? Looks like a million, good for you for sticking to it, it's very colorful and bright!

diamondee 11-04-2013 06:56 AM

OMIGOSH is the perfect name. wonderful, beautiful and BIG, are you putting a boarder around it? I cant wait to see it finished. Great job Bobbielinks. :thumbup:

mighty 11-04-2013 07:04 AM

Wow, awesome quilt!!!

trolleystation 11-04-2013 07:21 AM

I would lightly quilt it. It is so beautiful, I would not want the quilting to overwhelm it.

MargeD 11-04-2013 07:34 AM

OMG - the quilt is amazing. You are to be congratulated on finishing it, especially for a king size bed. It's absolutely beautiful.

klgls 11-04-2013 07:36 AM

Absolutely gorgeous! I agree that a curved or circle quilting would look great.

I agree ... Love scrappies !

Nice quilt.

Jingle 11-04-2013 08:00 AM

Absolutely gorgeous. I don't think I would like all the cutting and piecing. It sure was worth all your time spent on it.

redpurselady 11-04-2013 08:03 AM

The first time I saw the Omigosh, I knew I had to make one. After completing a watercolor log cabin I had a bunch of 1 1/2" floral strips already cut and decided I would use them for the Omigosh. It took some recalculating, but I did finish it and mine came to be 93 x 113 (with borders). Even though my blocks are larger (9" finished), the quilt still looks impressive and it's all made from leftover scraps, which is very satisfying.

Yours is beautiful - I'm sure it will look stunning after it is quilted.

jamsbuying 11-04-2013 08:03 AM

WOW, WOW, WOW !!! It is beautiful.

feline fanatic 11-04-2013 08:10 AM

Great job Bobbi. As talented as you are at quilting, I have to agree with the others that an all over E2E would probably be best for this one so as to let your piecing shine. Another option is to completely ignore the piecing and come up with some modern quilt design. But if this were mine, I think I would be pulling out the pantos.

racerh 11-04-2013 08:16 AM

Love this quilt! I think I would go with an overall pattern but would stray towards a geometric pattern.

owlvamp 11-04-2013 08:18 AM

Wow! It's beautiful .

charhend 11-04-2013 08:43 AM

O my gosh....What a beautiful quilt. Can't believe how many pieces are in it.

sharin'Sharon 11-04-2013 08:51 AM

WOW!!! I imagine your quilt being harder to put together than a postage stamp quilt would be; and either would take LOTS of patience. Thank you for sharing this great piece of art.

Pam S 11-04-2013 08:55 AM

Definitely Ohmigosh! You are to be commended for sticking with it. It sure turned out beautiful.

MDQuilter 11-04-2013 09:03 AM

This is gorgeous! It's one of my "maybe someday" quilts.

Geri B 11-04-2013 09:22 AM

Something traditional like baptist fan or clamshells...too busy to treat each unit I individually overall simple design would enhance that beautiful piecing.

omaluvs2quilt 11-04-2013 09:28 AM

Goodness, what a project! Perseverance sure paid off, its stunning...Congratulations!

woodyandjake 11-04-2013 10:10 AM

Beautiful, I don't know hoe you had the patience for it.

nannyrick 11-04-2013 10:33 AM

OMG, that is stunning!!!You have done an amazing job. Thanks for showing it.
