I participated in Angela's SoScrappy Rainbow BOM challenge and am still in the process of making Jack in the Box for it. I haven't seen the 2013 button yet but I will continue to do that quilt til I have enough blocks for a top. I may just try to make one or two more blocks of each color as they come around this year. I also want to add another block to make it more fun (or two, lol) so far I am thinking about doing the scrappy star block or maybe even Bonnie Hunter's Talkin' Turkey block!
I did do the UFO challenge even though I barely had enough UFO's to qualify! I did most of them..you can see the progress of that on my UFO's page. I didn't quite get to a few of them but they aren't pressing. I might be able to come up with 12 more UFO's if I count all my works in progress, but I am a finisher so they will get done.
NewUFO Challenge information in case you want in too! Most of the time I do start something new in a month anyways, so this seems like an easy challnge, but I enjoy having sewing goals so this is a no brainer! I LOVE Mystery Quilts and am doing one on New Year's Eve with Kathy as we do every year. It is one of my favorite sewing days! I see there is another oneat Patchwork Planet on New Year's Day and it is a modern mystery...so I may just have to jump on that..though I work half a day I am sure I can get a good start on it before work if I am so inclined or save it for the weekend!
Are you joining any fun quilty activities that I have overlooked? Tell me, tell me if you are. Well back to work, break is about over but as always I am thinking about quilting if I am not quilting!

Love the way your Jack in the Box blocks are looking! I'm still undecided about my block for the 2013 Rainbow challenge, but I'm looking forward to it! I really enjoyed my little pineapples this year.
Have a wonderful New Year!
I have been pondering a button for next year --it will be first on my list when I get back home. Talking Turkey would be awesome in rainbow colors. I was also pondering the giant string geese Bonnie was making recently. Whichever block you chose, I am glad you are in for next year!
I wish I liked *making* string blocks more because I really like Bonnie's talking turkey blocks. They would make a great scrap/rainbow quilt!
OMG I like the idea of the scrappy triangles other than just flying geese. Just love. Right I am doing the flying geese scrappy like or similar to Bonnie's antique quilt. I like your blog
