A Tile Pattern

And then, after drawing the giraffe, I put my sketchbook away, to concentrate on watching football. Suddenly I dashed for the paper again! I could see in my mind's eye the tile pattern for the hall threshold, which is the last little bit of tiling we have to do.

Six-inch tiles form the outer two lines, and I have just enough teeny tiles left from the other threshold pattern into the kitchen to make a line in the middle. I see the two darker lines as being custom-cut from the remains of the darker tiles. With the standard sizes of the six inchers and the teeny ones, I can vary the width as necessary of the darker ones to get the proper coverage.
