Wish list:

County Sligo
Prince of Wales

Working on a tartan design myself in honor of my grandfather and his family--could actually use some help with the design.
Prince of Wales is rather nice I agree, I'll have to look up Sligo.

I've only designed two tartans so I'm by far an expert but I'd be happy to give some input. Maybe you could start up a thread with examples of what you've tried so far along with your rationale and then people could comment or have their own go based on what you've said?
