Default Electronic Quilt software questions

I purchased the Quilt Wizard software at JoAnns a few years ago when I had a 50% off coupon. I know it's made by the same folks who make the Electronic Quilt software.

Here's my question...Are you able to truly create and design your own quilt blocks using the EQ software? The Quilt Wizard software is pretty easy to use, but quite limited in that you must choose from existing quilt blocks. There are so many simple blocks that are not included to be used. I want to be able to create blocks of different sizes that can be used in a single project. For example, I'd like to be able to maybe create a 16 patch block and use a solid block where I've snow-balled the corners as a sashing, along with a corner stone block where the vertical and horizontal sashing meets. QW is only capable of using all standard same size blocks. I'd like to be able to create a block and then repeat it as a unit in a design, as opposed to creating all of the individual pieces that make up a 16 or 20 inch block.

Hope this makes sense. Before I jump in to purchasing one of the latest versions of EQ, I wanted to be sure that I'd be able to create the type of quilt blocks that I have explained.

Thanks for any input!
