\"Tile<\/a>
Tile Floor – full<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I walked down S. Michigan Street in Chicago towards the Art Institute of Chicago one day. I am a sucker for architectural details and saw tons. I was in a rush, though, because I only had a little while to check out the AIC.<\/p>\n

On my way back, I ducked into vestibules and lobbies to take photos. I was rewarded by this tile floor. I want to make this border. I need to figure out how to make this border!<\/p>\n

\"Border<\/a>
Border detail<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I think that the border could be divided up into blocks to make the piecing easier and more straightforward to piece.<\/p>\n

Notice the little corner treatment inside the straight green inside border.<\/p>\n

I even kind of like the green and gold, though I wouldn’t do all that piecing, then create a green and gold quilt with such an elaborate border.<\/p>\n

\"Nine<\/a>
Nine Patch Reimagined<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Several of these blocks are spread over the center of floor that has the border above. I glanced at it and thought “nine patch,” then I looked at it again and was intrigued because of the way the middle squares (green in this rendition) are smaller and part of the space disappears into the background. I really like the way the yellow squares are much larger. I’ll have to try making one of these.<\/p>\n
