"Freedom" was created by David Owen Hastings as a way to break free from his "square" quilting with lots of rectangles.

Wanting to break away from his "square way" of quilting, i.e. lots of rectangles, David forced himself to work with curves and round shapes for Freedom as a way to break free from himself during the pandemic. It was designed using a rough thumbnail sketch, a trick he brought to his quilting from his graphic design training, and from there David was given the "freedom", hence the title, to play with his work and let it evolve.
