THE ART OF PATCHWORK :

The art of patchwork, like the art of using leftovers in cooking, is particularly enjoyable. The feeling of doing “something useful” is certainly part of the fun, and this was long before the appearance of environmentalist beliefs, but this moral is not sufficient to justify such intense pleasure.
I am convinced that the main factor is that of surprise : the art of using leftovers, whatever they may be, always bring unexpected combinations because we are not always in total control. So this is a game, so chance always play a part ! I would even add that you should not try to work against the effects of chance, if you want to enjoy the pleasure of a surprise : a false patchwork is just a project like any other. And while it is very difficult to resist the temptation to try to improve upon chance just a little, you must not drive away the divine surprise which is the purpose of the game. I have tried to apply my acknowledge of the rules of patchwork to tiles. And the results are so joyful, amusing, insolent even that I cannot find adjectives to describe them. But it is imperative to respect the effects of chance, so the game consists in buying boxes containing a ready-made mixture of patterned tiles, without knowing what is inside. Of course, that is rather frightening, but without fear there can be no surprise.
Patchwork enthusiasts will find plenty for them because they were all too often put off by the high price of tiles sold by the piece. Others may see this as a way of avoiding the painful problem of choosing from too many options. Everyone will appreciate the price.
