If you haven't had the pleasure yet of perusing one of the six volumes of
Quiltmaker's 100 Blocks, we would encourage you to run, not walk, to your nearest newsstand to partake in this inspirational feast. Today, FreeSpirit Fabrics is a stop on the Quiltmaker 100 Blocks Blog Tour.

| Tic Tac Toe |
Within the pages of volume 6, Diane Harris, the interactive editor for Quiltmaker, takes
FreeSpirit Chicopee by Denyse Schmidt and does a modified Tic Tac Toe block or in today's world it could be called a hash tag! She coupled the vibrant green and aqua fabric with black to show true contrast from light to dark.

Sprinkled throughout you will see bits and pieces of Chicopee as well as
FreeSpirit LouLouthi by Anna Maria Horner in Anita Grossman Solomon's Kaleidoscope Log Cabin -- her modern version of a tried and true well-loved block.
Not to leave out the men, Angela Walters takes
FreeSpirit Curious Nature from Parson Gray and combines it with solids to create her block Boomerang -- and it does look like a boomerang.

Isn't it amazing what a color or a turn of a pattern can do to make a block as exciting as an entire quilt?
Now for the good stuff. Visit
Quiltmaker's blog and comment to win FreeSpirit bundles along with bundles from our sister brand
