    Tiling around tub
    I will be putting porcelain tile around a tub. The depth of the tub is 28" and I have 13" tiles. How would be the best way to arrange the tiles? If I use 2 large tiles from the end of the tub back towards the wall that would only leave a very small cut tile on the inner corner. Would this look funny? Should I instead put one large tile in the middle with a 7 1/2" tile on each end instead?

    The 2'' tile in corner will be fine.

    If u put a cut tile at end of tub, will have to clean cut edge with tile stone.
