Having Fun with a Simple Block

Recently I saw a photo in Pinterest of a quilt that has stuck in my mind.

It was a scrappy one block quilt.  Each block measured 4″ finished.    Here is a drawing of the block.

If anyone can send me the Pinterest link to this quilt I would be deeply appreciative.

I would like to add that link to this post.

Today I decided to play with different ideas using this block and variations of this block.

I am calling it The Simple Block.  I decide my Simple Blocks would be 6″ finished blocks.

 

Here are some quilt ideas that came to mind:
