Crouching Tiler, Shrinking Pattern

Laying out the tiles, we (ok really it was the wife) noticed that the rectangle of fancy listello


was going to be much larger than we I had anticipated. It would have been partially covered by the refrigerator and too close to the cabinets around the outside. So I pulled back some of the tile and have now decreased the dimensions of the inner pattern. I think in the long run this will be a good thing and require less overall cuts with the tile saw. We'll see.
