1. A block system, comprising: a plurality of blocks connected side by side into a configuration, each block including a front, a rear, sides, lips, and fastener accommodating spaces;a plurality of adjacent fasteners connecting side by side blocks together;a wall cleat with a flange and a cleat port
1. A block system, comprising: a plurality of blocks connected side by side into a configuration, each block including a front, a rear, sides, lips, and fastener accommodating spaces;a plurality of adjacent fasteners connecting side by side blocks together;a wall cleat with a flange and a cleat portion having an angled wall and a hole for receiving a threaded fastener for mounting the wall cleat to a wall, each block including an angled wall that defines a circular inner recess not extending through the block that operatively corresponds with the angled wall of the wall cleat to lock the block and wall cleat together by the combined forces of gravity and friction;wherein each fastener is disposed in the fastener accommodating spaces of side by side blocks without overlapping adjacent fasteners and the cleat portion is elliptical and the hole is offset from center in the cleat portion. 2. The block system of claim 1, wherein the fasteners are binder clips that clip together adjacent lips of adjacent blocks for clipping the plurality of blocks together in the side by side configuration. 3. A block system, comprising: a plurality of blocks connected side by side into a configuration, each block including a front, a rear, sides, lips, and fastener accommodating spaces;a plurality of adjacent fasteners connecting side by side blocks together;wherein each fastener is disposed in the fastener accommodating spaces of side by side blocks without overlapping adjacent fasteners, the fasteners are binder clips that clip together adjacent lips of adjacent blocks for clipping the plurality of blocks together in the side by side configuration, each binder clip includes an elongated clip member with a substantially triangular cross section and terminal ends, and a pair of key-hole shaped handles pivotally connected to terminal ends of the clip member. 4. The block system of claim 3, wherein the block is made of at least one of a wood material and a plastic material. 5. The block system of claim 4, wherein the block is made of a wood material and milled from at least one of a wooden blank and a plywood blank in which a circular inner recess, a rectangular outer recess, and edge recesses are created from a subtractive process on a CNC machine. 6. The block system of claim 3, wherein the fastener accommodating spaces receive the key-hole shaped handles of the binder clips without overlapping adjacent key-hole shaped handles of adjacent fasteners. 7. The block system of claim 6, wherein the block system includes perpendicularly disposed blocks, and the fastener accommodating spaces receive the key-hole shaped handles of the binder clips without overlapping adjacent key-hole shaped handles of adjacent fasteners and so that the key-hole shaped handles of binder clips connecting perpendicularly disposed blocks are perpendicularly disposed relative to each other without contacting each other. 8. The block system of claim 3, further including a wall cleat with a flange and a cleat portion having an angled wall and a hole for receiving a threaded fastener for mounting the wall cleat to a wall, each block including an angled wall that defines a circular inner recess not extending through the block that operatively corresponds with the angled wall of the wall cleat to lock the block and wall cleat together by the combined forces of gravity and friction. 9. The block system of claim 8, wherein the cleat portion is circular and the hole is centrally disposed in the cleat portion. 10. The block system of claim 8, wherein the cleat portion is elliptical and the hole is offset from center in the cleat portion. 11. The block system of claim 3, wherein the front of each block includes at least one of images, numbers, letters, symbols, logos, characters, and indicia adhered to the front by at least one of transfer sheeting and direct printing. 12. The block system of claim 3, wherein the front of each block is solid and the rear of each block includes the fastener accommodating spaces. 13. The block system of claim 3, wherein the blocks include rectangular blocks. 14. The block system of claim 3, wherein the blocks include square blocks. 15. A method of using the block system of claim 3, comprising: aligning a plurality of the blocks rear face up side by side into the configuration;connecting the side by side blocks together with the plurality of adjacent fasteners so that the fasteners are disposed in the fastener accommodating spaces of side by side blocks without overlapping adjacent fasteners. 16. The method of claim 15, wherein the block system includes at least one wall cleat with a flange and a cleat portion having an angled wall, each block includes an angled wall that defines a circular inner recess that operatively corresponds with the angled wall of the wall cleat, the method further including: mounting the at least one wall cleat to the wall;mounting the block system to the wall by disposing the wall cleat in the circular inner recess of the block so that the angled wall defining the circular inner recess locks the block and wall cleat together by the combined forces of gravity and friction. 17. The method of claim 16, further including adjusting the block system on the cleat to ensure plumb and level. 18. The method of claim 16, wherein the cleat portion is elliptical, and further including rotating the cleat so that a contact point of the cleat with the block system raises or lowers, allowing for adjustments of the block system. 19. The block system of claim 3, wherein one or more fastener accommodating spaces are elongated and together with one or more sides form one or more straight lips. 20. A block system, comprising: a plurality of blocks connected side by side into a configuration, each block including a front, a rear, sides, lips, and fastener accommodating spaces, the rear including an angled wall defining an inner recess that does not extend through the block;a plurality of adjacent fasteners connecting side by side blocks together; wherein each fastener is disposed in the fastener accommodating spaces of side by side blocks without overlapping adjacent fasteners; a wall cleat with an elliptical cleat portion and a hole for receiving a threaded fastener for mounting the wall cleat to a wall, the angled wall of the cleat portion operatively corresponding with the angled wall defining the inner recess of the block to lock the block and wall cleat together by the combined forces of gravity and friction.
