    Here is a further development of my family sett, using dark scarlet instead of pale blue as the ground colour. I rather like it:

    Like the earlier designs, this was done on Scotweb [www.scotweb.co.uk]. I hope to have them weave it one day and make it up as a kilt.
    Regards,
    Mike

    I can't wait to see them as an actual tartan / kilt, Mike! Nice job!

    Overall, I like the balance of the threadcount in this sett.

    On my screen though, the red ground looks the same as the red in the central band (under the three yellow lines). I think it loses some of the effective contrast of the earlier versions. Was that your intent?
