    Be aware that if it is truly Maple Leaf, it is an asymmetric sett -- so you need to work with a full length, you can't cut it in half and seam it in the middle. There are lots of threads here discussing Maple Leaf considerations.

    I don't recall anyone ever talking about finding tartan PV at Wally World in any sett, much less Maple Leaf -- nice find!

    It is an asymmetric sett - I noticed that as I was playing. It has a strange fringed selvedge that I will need to cut off and hem; and the sett is small enough that I will be "discarding" > 2 full heights of the sett, so joining the 2 pieces should be possible - and if not, I'll knock it into something usable! I bought it on impulse to throw together an x-kilt, but if I can make it look good too, well that's a bonus!
