What a great idea. I love the fact were willing to go outside the box (so to speak) and try something unusual.

Looks wonderful.

Wow, was just researching flooring, and would love to apply this one day in a shipping container home.

Thanks for the idea and instructions.

Really, really beautiful job. I can’t believe how cheap it was. I’m wondering how it was sealed.

I am in the process of buying a home. Since so many homes have carpet (which I detest), I have been putting a lot of thought into things flooring, as well as accent walls and kitchen/bathroom backsplashes and countertops. Quilt patterns have been the inspiration for several of my favorite possible floors/walls. Seeing this star/tumbling block/triangle floor has moved it to the top of my list. I’m also considering your hexagon wall. Thanks for sharing them!

I don’t know if you look at comments from past projects, but I was wondering if you ever ended up sealing the floor. Thanks!

I came here from Houzz.com, where this same floor pattern was used by a designer with acknowledgment: https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/84367879?utm_source=Houzz&utm_campaign=u5442&utm_medium=email&utm_content=gallery0&newsletterId=5442.
To put it mildly, I was floored!! I’ve spent a couple years pouring over flooring options (copper penny floor, who knew?), what could be original, unique (not “bland”), and be as budget-friendly as possible – I have 300 sq. ft. to cover in my 1965 ranch. I’m now onto searching out the mentioned tools, who I can borrow what from, and literally cannot wait to get started. The Houzz version took a further step of white-washing some of the triangles, blow-torching some to get the grain to pop, and leaving the rest natural – completed with 5 coats of polyurethane.
Thank you thank you thank you!

I just found this on Pinterest and I love it. I’m in the process of redoing a closet that was added to one of the rooms in my 1920 house. The flooring in the room (original to the house) is narrow oak strips about 1 1/8″. I can’t find that type of flooring any more so was thinking of some sort of sheet goods until I saw this. Since the room this closet is attached to is going to be my quilting studio I think this floor will be perfect. I think I want to use oak. I can hardly wait to have it completed.

In reply to 4362Karen. I'm wondering this too! We're using this to make a headboard, but I'm not sure if it matters the length of the side, as long as they're all the same?
