Use a tile guage rod / staff to mark on the floor where your tiles are going to be either side of the island.

spot on Dan,just keep checking every course and take your time,maybe if youv'e not done this before use a slow setting adhesive so you can fiddle them into place

Good advice Dan

Treat the island in the same way as you would a window in a wall.
Frame it with full tiles, making sure you keep square and parrallel.
Then put the cuts in afterwards.
And definitely use a slow setting adhesive.
Good luck mate.
