I figured it out!

I keep bringing home flooring samples and puzzling over them and asking everyone's opinion.

Emma said, "Are you just going to get enough samples that you can make a new floor?"

Mark started singing, "I got it one piece at a time, and it didn't cost me a dime."

So, that's the new solution.  I will attach all these samples together.  Duct tape?

It's a relief to have it decided.
