Love in a Mist

I love blocks that look complicated but are actually very easy, don't you? I looked long and hard for a block like this and I think I have a new favorite! But I say that about every block, don't I?

Love in a Mist quilt block


To make a 12.5" (unfinished) block:
From your focus fabric:
cut four - 2.5" x 2.5"
cut twelve - 3" x 3"

From your background fabric:
cut four - 2.5" x 2.5"
cut twelve - 3" x 3"
cut one - 4.5" x 4.5"

(sorry for all the white on white)

Fist we'll make 24 half square triangle blocks. Pair one 3" focus fabric with one 3" background fabric. Mark the diagonal, sew 1/4" on either side of the line, cut and press. Trim to 2.5"
