I really like the effect of a One Patch quilt. I have been looking
for a project to make a "Swatch-book Quilt" using all the prints
from each of my fabric collections. I found this cute, simple
block and thought it would be perfect. I am not sure how big
 the quilt will be yet. At the moment I have178 different dark
prints. This would make a quilt about 45" x 52"
 Here are the blocks details if you would like to join me

For one block cut the following

From dark print, cut:
1 square 3" x 3"
From light print, cut:
  1 square 3" x 3"
2 rectangles, 1-1/2" x 2 1/2"

Making the block

Using 3" squares make two half-square-triangles by

drawing a diagonal line on wrong side of light square.
Sew 1/4" on each side of line, cut on line and press.
Trim one unit to 2-1/2" square and one unit to 1-1/2" square

Lay out block using picture and piece together. 
Block finishes 3-1/2" square, including seam allowances.
