Christmas Future

That's really what my Christmas quilt is right now-- a ghost of Christmas Yet to Come.  It will not be done in time for this Christmas.  It will, however, be amazingly cute and festive.  I think it's worth the wait.  And when it's finally finished, I will throw open the windows and yell down into the street, "You, there!  What day is it?"  Upon finding out that it is Christmas Day, I will purchase a huge turkey for Tiny Tim and his family.  Then I will become a beloved old man and a legend of classic literature.

Until then, these off-kilter nine-patch blocks.
