To be honest, I preordered this book based on a social media post by one of designers in this book. I liked the pattern shown but wasn’t sure I’d like the book as a whole because granny squares are so not my aesthetic (modern and minimalist for me please). I’m happy to say that this book has surpassed my expectations. There are some truly lovely patterns here, including some that are modern. There are also plenty of more traditional styles, so something here for everyone. Each pattern contains a graph which is presented in full color. Published in the UK, has a table which explains the US and UK terms. For US readers, the patterns are easy to follow, as soon as you get used to “3 ch” rather than “ch 3” as an example, so no big deal really.
To top it all off, there are several patterns in the back of the book for you to utilize your “tiles” and make your own finished object (FO for those in the know :) )
I’m happy to have this in my fiber arts library.

Bright and beautifulMany ceramic tiles have a huge amount of detail and color in a small area and this stunning floral design perfectly captures this essence. |
Hello hexieAlthough most of the motifs in the collection are square there are a number of exceptions such as this hexagonal flower design which is worked in tapestry crochet. |
Textured crochetAs well as color, texture plays a large part in some of the designs, like this one which uses the bobble stitch to enhance the design. |

Everyday inspirationIt’s not just palaces that provided the inspiration for the tiles in this collection, this geometric design was influenced by the tiles in a London Underground station. |
Multiple motifsThis clever floral design is worked by stitching four small motifs and joining them together to create a symmetrical design. |
Mix it upNot all tiles are square or hexagonal. This round motif is worked with a mixture of popcorn stitches and double crochet in contrasting colors. |

Great book, but had to have it spiral bound.
The book has great patterns. Both written and stitch diagram. The binding isn’t very good and pages tend to come out so I took mine to office supply store and had them spiral bind it. Now easier to see all the great patterns.
