    BTW - do we need to send a sample to Matt for his collection or will the scraps from his work be big enough?

    The original sample is called "Verdun" and it's a slightly greyed true "Lime" green. I tested it with a true Olive, and the stripe nearly vanishes.

    I don't think we should mess with the widths of the pattern itself, now that everyone has bought in- I don't want to "bait & switch" or similar

    By my count, Matt will be doing 5-6 kilts from the material, so my guess is that he'll have a decent sized piece from the off-cuts.
