    I am really for the minimal spacing effect with victorian pathways!

    Nice job mate, just one question, the double header on the front left could be avoided. On a long run you can pull a lot, in short runs sometimes you can not do anything else. But if you have enough length on a border you can pull loads, just a little constructive criticism. Still nice work

    Just looking at your front border I don't think you had much choice, double headers are unavoidable sometimes. You didn't have the length to pull full tile, I think we all come across this problem now and then. If you look at my albums, you will see I had the same thing on one geometric floor, two double headers, on one floor. Yikes. I take my hat off to you, your first attempt at this type of work is first class.

    how would you 'pull' the tile phil? i tried working it out with no success. it looks like the only way to avoid the double header is to extend the width of the path by a full tile? nice work by the way, bang tidy

    Actually,,I cant figure it out iether.I dont think extending the body was an option as it would have landed with a black triangle on the left.

    Hi Ceramico, as I said before, sometimes it is unavoidable to end up with a double header, that is why you have the option to introduce a variable to the perimeter, outside the border. I still think you made a top job, well done

    its better to get into the habit of not using spacers if you can. takes practice but eventually like anything, you adjust.
