    In #1, you may not have enough room to taper without losing one of the fine black stripes (don't know how much taper you plan). #3 doesn't look as if it would present that issue for a "typical" taper.
    I gave it a go pleated to the sett. It's going to be tougher to do, but I like it. The width is about 3/4" and the depth is about 2 1/4".

    The taper isn't going to be much - I'm pretty much built like a fire plug. :-)



    Thanks everyone for taking the time to look and give an opinion. If I can swing it, I think I'll try pleating to the sett. I love all the colors so much I don't want any one to dominate over the others. If it doesn't work out, I can always try another way. It's double wide so I'll probably have enough for two attempts.
