Crayon Box

This block is a simple 16 patch.  The pattern comes from placement of the light and colored squares.    Instead of being put together in a checkerboard pattern, each four patch is put together with three colored blocks and one white block.  These are easy to put set up as leaders and enders.  Half of your squares get matched with another of the same color and the other half get matched with a white square.
