 To use this theme assign it as the parent theme and then copy from this them to the child theme the theme.json file and fill out the details.
 
 The goal is for the ponyfill styling to reflect what Gutenberg will style, from a given configuration, once that work is complete.  But to offer that today, using simpler techniques that Gutenberg will use upon completion.

 - Your child theme's theme.json file will be built by combining Blockbase's original theme.json file and your child's `child-experimental-theme.json`. That is the file where your configuration values live (you only want the values for variables that are different from the parent there). To generate the combined file, run `npm run build` from inside your theme's folder or run `npm run build:child child-theme-slug` from inside Blockbase's folder.
 - Extend the parent's templates that you want to customize or add new ones where needed following the [template hierarchy](https://themeshaper.com/2020/12/18/getting-started-with-block-themes-templates/).
 - Using `npm run start` will both watch changes inside the `sass` and `assets` folder and changes to the `child-experimental-theme.json` file.
-- Additionally, your child theme may want to unregister the block patterns and block styles defined by Blockbase.

 A Universal theme is a theme that works in Full Site Editing and in the Customizer. This is a concept that's still being explored so we don't have instructions to provide yet. If you are curious, you can visit [the branch](https://github.com/Automattic/themes/tree/make/quadrat) where we are developing Quadrat as a Universal Theme.

-Description: Blockbase is a lightly-opinionated base theme designed for single-page websites. Its single post and page layouts have no header, navigation menus, or widgets by default so the page you design in the WordPress editor is the same page you’ll see on the front end. The theme’s default styles are conservative, relying on simple sans-serif fonts and a subtle blue highlight color. Blockbae is ready for your customizations.
