You shift it all over so you use 10 full tiles plus 3/4 of a tile

You can always make the cut tiles at least 1/2 full width.


So, cut tile shouuld not be cut less than 1/2 width? Is that the
gerneral rule?


Yes. Subject to other constraints in the design. You want to minimize
small pieces.


What would you do in this case

The back wall is 5' and is where the bathtub is. I am able to fit 6 10(W)x14(H) tiles prefectly but
unfortunately, there is a window that makes that difficult because it is about 11" from the right.
So, if I were to use 6 full tiles across, there will be a 1" sliver to the right of the window,
which I do not want.

The other option is to start in the middle and put a half tile on each end. How do you think that
would look?
