SUMMARY- In 1988, my mom plunked down a stack of books in front of Ms. Beyer, and Ms. Beyer signed each one personally to my mother, with a little note. Clearly my mom loved this designer and her books, and just as clearly, the designer loved her fans. There is a LOT packed into this book. It amazes me how much variety can be created within the bounds of a simple square. I can see why my mom loved this designer so much. This one came with a transparency of grids to help design blocks.
