Narrative:

Departed cqa airport, called day approach for IFR clearance, although WX was VFR. Controller told me to fly heading 180 degrees to 3000 ft, traffic was 9-10 O'clock, 2800 ft, sbound, 2 mi (?). While on 180 degree heading, aircraft passed from right to left just 100 ft above me at 2700 ft. I never saw aircraft until it was by me on left side because I was looking for issued traffic. Upon querying ATC, he said, 'oh yes, aircraft turned eastbound,' and nothing else.
