R'lyeh tartan pleating options and yardage

Maybe there's already a thread on this topic, but I think it would be interesting to see some of the various ways the R'lyeh tartan has been pleated to get an idea of some of the different looks.

This is a 6 yard kilt pleated with the green stripe on the leading edge, with the dark going into the depth of the pleat.
Photo taken before the pleats were basted and pressed. It was late at night....

There were a number of variations photographed last run- HERE but it's always interesting to see more.
