A friend of mine said that my 4 inch squares of multicolored batiks looked like parkay flooring. Does that mean the margarine side of the toast hit the kitchen tiles face down?
"Butter!"
lifting the lid, "Parkay!"
But seriously folks, does anyone know what parkay flooring is?
It's really spelled parquet. Do a search for "parquet flooring" It's where you have patterns on your floor made by setting squares, triangles, rectangles, and other shapes of wood together to get a tiled appearance.

You guys!!! What a hoot! Parquet is a flooring made of wooden tiles; Parkay is a brand name for margarine.

It's a floor made from wood tiles. We had them through most of the house, except bathroom and kitchen. We had strips of wood, with wire on the back to hold them together and then put down like tile. They were a pain when there was moisture in the air as they would buckle, and be a big lump on the floor or under the rug. The people who put them in, just put them on the cement floor with nothing under it and put them down with the wrong glue.We had them in a fence rail pattern. When they were waxed and polished they did look really nice. Country Sharon

Thank you all for your responses! The batiks I have are mostly striped sort of, so I now understand where she got the parquet from. I still prefer butter.

Hi,
parkay = parquet. Small bits of wood laid out in a pattern. See link below :-)
