Sampler afghan crochet-a-long square #2

Block #2 for our sampler afghan is our first colorwork square.  This block uses 2 colors.  I used up some of my stash on the square in the photo.  For those using the Red Heart With Love colors I used in the finished blanket, the key to the colors is as follows:


A - Mango
B - Bluebell
C - Lettuce

If needed, please refer back to this post for yarn and gauge information.

This block uses a v-stitch.  If this stitch is new to you, it s a great one to know.  It looks great in a solid color as well as stripes.  It is used in the body of this kufi hat to give you an idea of something to make!
