Every year Angela hosts the Rainbow Scrap Challenge and has Saturday link ups each week so we can see everyone's progress. All you do is pick a block and then work on it in the color that Angela picks each month. At the end of the year you have enough blocks for a quilt top or at the end of two years if you do a small block. This past year and the year before that, I worked on my Jack in the Box blocks which will be coming together this month with any luck (and a little time). I am excited to see this one done...I have enjoyed every block. This pattern can be found in Quiltmaker Magazine...it was a Bonnie Hunter block, of course!
This year I added Talkin' Turkey (also a Bonnie Hunter pattern, found in the 100 Blocks magazine) in a rainbow of colors. I may have to do this for another year, I haven't decided yet.

I love the Jack in the Box! I found the pattern online here as well... http://www.quilterscache.com/J/JackintheBoxBlock.html... and was wondering if this was the same method of cutting and construction as Bonnie. It looks like a good opportunity for what I've heard Bonnie refer to as "bonus triangles." May have to give this a try!
Andee, you have accomplished so much this year! As you can tell from my "stale" blog, I haven't done much of anything lately. The move all but stopped anything I might have planned. Now we're all moved in and settled, so after the holidays, I'll jump in to Celtic Solstice full force.
As for RSC13, I was working on 3 BH patterns all year, making many blocks each month (Bowdacious, 9-patch Revisited, & Wild Child). I think the last blocks I finished were teal in July/Aug?!? I need to catch back up on those...another set of UFOs. I tried hosting a. UFO challenge like Judy's last year, but I don't really have enough followers. Maybe you should do it??? Just a thought! I need motivation, man!!!
I SO love those talking turkey blocks! The teal is my favorite of the bunch. Not bad for a bunch of scraps, right?
I love the Jack in the Box too, enough to maybe think about the Rainbow Challenge for 2014. Thanks for sharing this!
WOW! Just WOW! I love this.......you may have convinced me to participate now!
Wow, I really love it. I love all the bright fun colors!
Your rainbow blocks are wonderful, I think I need to go through my Bonnie books and pick one for 2014.
Both projects are amazing!
Hope turkey blocks continue next year.
I haven't decided yet what I want to make next year...
Very bright and cheerful blocks. This rainbow challenge has been fun. I have lots of ideas for next year just not sure which ones I will be making. I look forward to seeing what you will be making next year.
This is BEAUTIFUL! I'll be adding more blocks to what I have next year, too.
Its turning into a beautiful quilt. Yes, I'm in for next year, I'm making great granny blocks.
