Nearly Insane: Block 37

A complicated block!  And with a mistake!  I print out a paper foundation, and note for every piece what color it is supposed to be.  Made a mistake in labelling but didn't notice it until assembling some sub-units.  I really didn't want to unpick my work, so decided to let it go.  When the quilt is assembled, I don't think anyone will notice.  Maybe not even me.

PFF: I still want to go to Florida

Boy, those tree leaves are bright in this old linen card, aren't they?  It looks tropical and pretty and WARM.  We had freezing rain here in the Midwest today.

Caption:  "Hundreds of Royal Poinciana trees border S. Miami Ave., Miami, Fla." On the reverse: "Between May and July this avenue is ablaze with the flaming Royal Poinciana, affording a never to be forgotten sight to persons who have never seen nature in such  brilliant array."

Sent from Hollywood Fla to Rhode Island in 1955.
"We visited a park to-day and saw all the animals and things.  Then we went to Miami.  Saw Arthur Godfrey's Hotel.  Lois, Bill and Roger"

Today I think most people would be interested in the beach, shopping or the nightlife at South beach.  Arthur Godfrey is not remembered.

Nearly Insane block #33

Having fun in reds, yellows, and blues.  Very close to the original colors in the quilt.

Pink Saturday postcard Jan. 15

There is snow on the ground in all of the US states except Florida today.  I want to pack my bags and GO!  And visit the Rare Bird Farm near Miami and see real PINK flamingos!

Happy Pink Saturday!
