Questions & Answers

I'm slowly working my way through some of the little obstacles but the one thing that still plagues me is the layout. I though I'd start by laying it out from the bottom left and simply continue on around, keeping the same pattern through the corners. Sort of like if you laid out all three walls as one big flat surface and then folded it or cut out each wall. This would give you a "continuious pattern". For instance, if you cut 8" off of a 24" tile going into a corner, you would use the remaining 16" to continue the pattern on the next wall. So verything would start on the outer edge of the right hand wall and continue on through to the far side of the left hand wall. I don't even know if this makes any sense? Should I be looking at each wall as an individual surface rather than one continuious surface? I'm concerned it would look odd if the tile pattern didn't carry on from one wall to the next? I could do the right and left, matching walls in a mirror image of each other and then try and do something with the back wall that looked ballanced? I know I'm over thinking it but that's where I am. Stuck in a layout loop. Right now I'm doing drawings on graph paper but not getting too far. I'm using a 12"x24" tile in a horizontal position. Part of my problem may be using such large tiles on a small shower? The back wall is 34" and the two side walls are 37 inches wide. I just need somewhere to start.
