Planning 100730

1. Spaced each group of 4 tiles vertically 1/4" (or 1 square chopstick-head) apart, then taped them with blue painter's tape.
2. Next I put a strip of strapping tape on the top tile, and stuck the strip of 4 facing tiles to the top-edge tile so I could determine the distance I wanted from the top of the hearth.
3. Finally, I attached the two taped-up center strips to the facing to see how they looked.  It was difficult to see around all the tape---good thing I made sure all the patterns worked before I put it on!
