I miter bullnose for several installations. I would pick a point where the shower door or curtain is going to be and simply go from the 12′s to the 6′s. I miter bullnose for several installations.

I'm just trying to eliminate as many variables as possible to make this as easy for us (David mostly.) I am aware of dye lot numbers, some of the tiles I brought home from Dal do not come in all sizes, 12's and 18's with only bullnose. I wanted some other variation, especially since we are doing a wainscot. On that subject, the transition from the 12" tiles in the shower to the wainscot. What is your suggestion as far as going to a 6" on the walls? This HD tile does not have corner bullnose, we will have to make our own. Do you just pick a point, like the end of the tub and lay the 6" next to the 12"? How would you do it? Thanks.

That's why they can sell it so cheaply. Before tiles are boxed at the manufacturer they are separated into lot sizes matching up the size differences. With tile at the big box stores these allowable differences are a bit more than the tile you'll get from someplace like dal. For the most part they are just fine for most installations. If they have one you like get it. There is a lot more leeway in the size inconsistency of that tile. That’s why they can sell it so cheaply.
