first on the first

Happy New Year's Day, everyone!!!

I started a new scrappy quilt a few weeks ago and since this will be the first quilt finished in 2013, I thought it was a great day to give a little peek. Want to see?

Isn't it fun? I'm following Katy's tutorial and using tons of my scraps. Aaaah, heaven! There's going to be more than 1000 2.5" squares in this quilt.

I'm happy to say that all my blocks are finished. They did get a little tedious at the end, but it was not as bad as I thought at first (thank goodness for PBS playing Emma at the right time).

I'm hoping to be able to piece the top and start quilting it in the next few days. 

How about you? What's your first project for 2013?
