Putting the Tile in Textile

How are we putting the Tile in Textile?

What inspires us to create new patterns and color schemes? Practically everything. This time it was a funky little swatch of fabric. Exhibit A:

 

We wanted to create a fun chevron-type pattern that evoked the feel of a textile. HUZZAH! The idea struck: Why not use Stix in a standard layout, and arrange the colors so that the placement carried a chevron pattern! It kind of looks like embroidery threads, no?
