Quilt Notes: LOVE IN A MIST is illustrated in Maggie Malone's 1001 PATCHWORK DESIGNS, but without pattern templates. Barbara Brackman's ENCLYCLOPEDIA OF PIECED PATTERNS shows a 4-color variation adding a pinwheel in the center, and credited to the FARM JOURNAL, which began publishing in 1877 and is still going. Compare piecing diagrams below. The block is named after a beautiful blue or white flower with long circling vine-like stems or "bracts" that envelop it — see flower photo here.
