This quilting book is all about creating beautiful quilt blocks with more creativity. Author Sharon Rotz's clever "freedom block" approach is a skewed log cabin variation that gives quilters leeway to sew log cabin blocks however they choose to.

Freedom blocks are created from straight-grain strips that use various colors and widths, giving quilters license to showcase their individual character in quilts. More than 15 step-by-step projects prompt readers to be free:

-To construct various-size blocks

-To skip matching corner points or cutting blocks at specific angles

-To combine many colors and fabrics into one project

-To use countless fabric combinations
