    Absolutely. It's hard to translate mentally.

    ...so I saved the image and scaled it so it would be around 7" on my screen. I definitely prefer the aesthetic of the thinner red/white/green lines

    I say you almost had it in the second image of post #10, then you lost it again.
    Go back to that second image in post #10, double up the thin overstripe to at least two threads per stripe, and make it symmetrical by choosing either green or red in the overstripe, but not both, and you're there.

    Thanks Calgacus, I was fooling around trying to get it back and came up with this.

    With a 7" sett, maybe a pleating option in the rear could repeat red/green/white

    I've obviously chosen different shades than you, but you get the idea.

    I am sorry, but these are all far too dark for my liking.

    Christmas in our house is a joyous affair. The word that comes to mind is Bright. These remind me of "Christmas in the Crematorium".

    Sorry again.
