No. We just replaced our old patio this spring with simple, no fuss poured concrete. I love the clean look. Plus...IF you want to sell your house....a quilty design may be a deterrent to buyers. Keep it simple. Pavers are fine. But use the same design throughout. Our quilt obsession is not always appreciated.

my 2 cents.

A little too busy for my taste. I would prefer a quilting pattern layout.

sure! I watch a lot of Italian shows and the tile floors in buildings are to "die" for.

I really like the last photo of the stones in the neutral color. I would love to have that look on my back porch and around the pool.

No, I think I would get tired of it before long.

Oh yeah! My smallish patio would look great in those, and it would discretely indulge my love of somewhat-controlled scrappy.

I have pretty simple taste and like things more like nature intended them so if I had the money or choice, I would still stick with the plain ones. LOL

I'd use some for a border or just the four corners.

If it looked like Victorian terratso tiling I think it would be great. Lots of houses in Oz have verandahs covered in this sort of tiling. They look great, are cool especially with water thrown on them in the very hot weather. Very easy to clean.
