Ken: My brother and I are having the same discussion about the Blaylock Hunting and Annandale tartans. We empathize with the difficulties you describe in framing the certificates with portions of tartan in an aesthetically pleasing way.
We have also considered using strips of tartan around the certificate (perhaps a 1st level of matting) wide enough to give a good idea of the look of the tartan, but very likely not wide enough to show a complete sett.
If the SRT offered an option to receive the certificate in an alternate "landscape" as opposed to "portrait" layout, then one could (with most tartans, anyway) show at least one sett to the right or left, or both, sides of the framed certificate. It would make for a wide-framed hanging, but might look good over a bar or fireplace, or in a den. Maybe we should suggest that to the SRT for future consideration. 
We would hate to end up with a large-framed hanging containing the certificate and a piece of tartan looking tacked on, ie tacky. If you get any brilliant alternate ideas, please let us know. We'll do the same.

I changed my signature. The old one was too ridiculous.
