You might consider pulling the stitches a bit tighter on the crossed pieces to give them more of an X look. Then again, you might not consider that.

In reference to your striped ribbon comment, me either!

I tried that but it made it really bulky in the middle so I let them out a little so they would lay flat.

Very nice. I'll have to see what I can do for scarlet and gold.

Well done! Nicely made! I too enjoy making accessories to Highland dress. I've gone to Sam's Club and bought $25 wing-tips, cut around the lace holes, replaced the shoe strings with long one's and had $125 brogues for $25. Also made my own kilt belt, and had a jacket tailored down into a day kilt jacket for $15.
