Block designs consist of black and white squares on grid paper, where black is considered the pattern block and white the background block. Learn how Rosalie used the binary number system and the textures of 4-shaft shaft huck lace to develop the definitive number of two-block designs, and how these simple designs become the building blocks of more elaborate designs. The lecture illustrates the construction and deconstruction of complex designs by showing how to use the printed design pages and transparent overlays from her book An Exaltation of Blocks.
