Center tile: Tiggy colors on indigo
Strawberry Thief was designed by William Morris after watching thrushes stealing strawberries from the garden at Kelmscott.
Strawberry Thief was and is the most popular of all William Morris patterns to this day, and for good reason. It makes a friendly kitchen or living area pattern without being kitsch or sentimental. The blue central pattern is closest to the original implementation of Morris's design, but his designs invites other colorways and lighter variations.

Strawberry Thief Background Colors
I have several variations offered, but the foregrounds and backgrounds are interchangeable. Background colors can be changed relatively easily. Custom colors are available.
How to communicate the color pattern you are interested in? I've named the foreground variations after memorable cats I have known:
Available background colors are: White, Pale Cream, Forest, Indigo, Rooster Comb Red, Victorian Blue, Slate Gray, Wine, Brick, Sky, and Jet.

Other Colors: Backgrounds colors can be changed easily.
4.25 inch square tiles: I have discontinued the 4.25 inch tiles, although I can still make them if you're sure. I feel the pattern is too dense for a small tile. I have developed other options, however. Please take a look at Strawberry Thief border tiles, where there are additional options for 4.25 inch tiles.
6 inch square tiles: $66
8 inch square tiles: $88
Not all foreground colorways work with all backgrounds, particularly if the colors are similar. If you are unsure, it's a good idea to order a sample tile. See the FAQ.
