Patchwork quilt
This is just a small sample of the driveways I cross on my habitual walks through the community.
"The powers that be" would prefer that all driveways were built using individual bricks/stones. But as you can see, most homeowners opt for the easier, less expensive method of pouring concrete and "stamping" out a design...
See anything you like?

Yes, that one in the middle (thinking to a stone-road)
You have a quilter's eye, and you captured some interesting patterns. I tend to prefer the curved patterns, perhaps because I prefer circular reasoning to linear. The linear patterns are not as interesting!
Are any of these real, Isabella?
I'm assuming the answer is no, as I don't see space between the 'tiles' for any grouting although I have seen real tiles butted up close to the next, so perhaps some are real.
Very nice patchwork! Somehow difficult to see which one are real. You may have to touch them to be sure? Spontaneously, I would say the middle one and the bottom middle one. Which one is yours? A "real" one I suppose?
un beau patchwork avec une préférence pour celui d'en haut à droite.
A beautiful patchwork with a preference for one of the top right.
Interesting post. And a nice collage of your photos.
And to install the individual pieces is very expensive up here. My neighbor had one installed (driveway) of brick and it is a small driveway and the cost was over $5,000.00. To do it in stamped concrete was $2,000.00.
I like the real thing but nobody will let me dig up a section of the Apian Way to see how the Romans did it. It was started in 312 B.C. and I don't know when it was finished but most of it is still there. I don't think we have anything to match it anywhere in the world. Not for durability, at least.
Very creative mosaic, Isabella :). I prefer the earth tones, but maybe not necessarily their particular designs.
Oooo -- I love this! Great idea! Something I haven't appreciated before.
Beautiful collage. I'm widening my driveway a few feet and have been looking at stones and brick a lot lately - stamping wasn't an idea that I considered until now!
You've started a "Home Improvement" project :)
I agree with fabrizio's choice.
Nice design, by the way!
Nice shot ! I remember Dayton Beach, 18 years ago !
I do like this look so much more than what is popular in Nashville. I forget what it's called, but it's little stones and shells and stuff like that. . .nicer than concrete, but quite plain. In Las Vegas, we did our courtyard in stamped concrete as I really like the way it looks. . . .
Cool collage!
Love all them! But principally the picture of the center.
great display.
i like the two bottom middles.
I'm interested in the curved layouts which I see a lot - everywhere. Initially I thought it was just decorative, but I'm thinking now that it is actually easier to cut and lay certain granite in this pattern - rather than trying to achieve regular shaped stones and straight lines
Oh, wow. The middle right most one... we have those in Kuwait.
