Fabric geeks know that toile de Jouy is a type of textile design popularized in the 18th century and that toiles typically depict a complex scene, often pastoral, arranged into a repeating pattern. Classical toiles are usually two colors, with white or off-white as the background color and the pattern printed in black, dark blue, or red. For this contest, we asked designers to come up with a murder-mystery-themed toile de Jouy. As we voted for all our favorites, we enjoyed imagining one or two of these as the wallpaper in Colonel Mustard's library.
