Fanny’s Favorite Quilt Block is a sweet little chain type block based on a 4×4 grid. Based on how you choose to color it, you can totally change the look. In the featured image above, I’ve colored the block with a range of light, medium and dark fabrics, but traditionally the block is made with a background and one color.

Let’s try it with some more traditional colorings:
