Well it's gorgeous, both sides of it, whatever it turns out to be!

Fool me twice, shame on me

My mother does have a lovely Navajo rug that hung on the wall for years in direct sunlight and the two sides have that degree of difference!

But I'll bow out now, having exposed the fact that I've no business posting in this thread

No need to bow out. Look again and see what's there

My thought, too. I can't see it...

Looking only at the image in post #7 (as it's the only one I see) I can spot a herringbone selvedge on the lower plaid in the image. Guessing then that this is the piece for the month I'll state that the green is either an astounding choice and very vibrant or else has faded somewhat over time. It's such a nice green though that it seems intentional.

It looks like the piece on the top of the image is a similar tartan, but employs more than one Green, perhaps a Navy too. I wonder how these plaids are (obviously) related. MacQuarrie maybe?

MoH - you interpret correctly.

X - the smaller piece was that shown in the OP. You're on the right track - keep going and tease that thought process out.
