oh I know things aren't square.
the counters are level and the cabinets are level. (mostly) that is the distance from the counter to the bottom of the cabinets is within 1/8 of an inch. surprising since I put the cabinets in.

its mosaic. so I don't think I need to worry about the ends being "centered" or even.. its on 12inch sheets with small rectangle tiles on it.
I will take a pic when I get home.

I have one end that will be exposed, the other end butts up to a cabinet so I can put molding over that end, but the end that is exposed, I am not sure how to finish it and not have exposed cuts. this is glass tile and I hate to leave a sharp cut edge exposed.
I have looked for rounded edge pieces like you see in a bathroom but I have not seen any.
Post a pic of tile.

It drives me nuts when tile goes around a corner and they don't match the pattern, watch for that.

Where you start is important. I usually center the pattern at the range, then work out from there.

As Iceman said, we use Schluter trim alot. If it's glass tile like a brick/subway tile, you can flip the cut pieces around so the smooth side is out.
