If you make larger tiles fitting the together in a convincing way becomes the problem. You can solve it by making the pattern more forgiving by using the same color along the edges that join together, or other strategies for fitting them without misalignment of the pattern. You can also make two 11 x 11 tiles that work together as a unit to make a bigger tile. I like 11 x 11, but I've done 15 x 15 and other sizes, but pinching the loaf of molding it in two small boards that give it a bit or taper. You only need to approximate the taper because if you work with hot hide glue the tiles with expand and compress into each other. I've laid out the exact taper with a compass and a center point with lines drawn out that intersect with the width of the tile at the correct distance from the center point. You can use that as a template to hand cut each tile if you make big tiles out of burl swatches and stuff.
