    An Asymmetric tartan. Very pretty. Make sure you keep the assymetry in mind when assembling the two pieces.

    I'm glad you were finally able to find a way to get your hands on some of this Tartan.

    Hey! Congratulations, that is a very neat tartan.
    I tried to ask my inner curmudgeon before posting, but he sprayed me with the garden hose…

    If you need help coping with asymmetry, just holler! Don't make any cuts or rips until you're sure you know what you want to do.

    BTW - how much did you buy, and what weight is it?

    I noticed it ws described as 'Jura' which would mean 16 oz cloth from Marton Mills

    One thing I noticed about the a-symmetry... look at the picture CLOSELY... the BOTTOM black line in the pic (horizontal) is on the OTHER side of the tartan. This MAY allow it to be cut and spliced, HOWEVER, the vertical kilt stripes will move from one side of the block to the other side at the splice. I'm ASSUMING that the grey / white pivot line just above the bottom of the picture is the MIDDLE of the bolt when I talk about the a-symmetry being splice-able... kind of.

    Is this making sense?
