    Default 6 tile random pattern

    Hi there,
    I was wondering if anyone could suggest a good random pattern for 6 tile sizes rather than the more standard 4 tile Opus Romano?
    Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks theyomper.
    Unfortunately they only have upto 5 tile patterns and I was hoping for 6. I guess I may have to rethink.

    Thanks Dave - but how do I add extra tiles of different sizes to an existing pattern, as all those patterns are made up of 4 tile sizes? Or am I missing something?

    450x450
    450x300
    450x150
    300x300
    300x150
    150x150
    It's one of those situations where the company sells a mixed box in the above sizes (1 of each but 2 of the 300x150) and it works out a lot more expensive to get the 4 sizes for the Opus Romano format. But their suggested layouts are far less pleasing.
    So I was hoping to find an alternative but the more I think about it the more I come to the conclusion that it may not be possible!

    The only other alernative if you have pattern sheets is to random pattern it to your taste, but you have to be careful as you might run out of a certain size this way...thats why they sell them in packs to suit a particular pattern...


    It will be a case of trial and error to see what looks and fits best...

    Lay a good portion of the tiles out dry in a pattern you like..then photo it..

    this give will you something to follow...ish..
