Bear in mind that clay shrinkage varies with initial water content in the clay, type of clay used, and firing temperature. (Plain terra cotta has the least shrinkage.) A precise measurement is not easily obtained. However, I can make matching spacers which will be helpful in your home décor project if you need a tile border of a specific length.
