A New Tartan Design - Comments?
I've been working on a Tartan Design to honor my father, Philip S. Morgan III (1934-2009). He passed away this past February. Our family has been in Maryland since the 1600's, I grew up there, and my Dad lived in Maryland all his life. So, I'm planning to call this tartan Morgan of Maryland. The tartan will be available for anyone who might want to wear it.
The design is based in part on the MacKay Clan tartan, of which Morgan is a sept, and is also influenced by the Macleod Clan tartan which the Morgan family in Maryland is connected to by marriage through the MacCabe sept.
The colors may not look quite right on computer, but these depend on the weaver anyway. The design calls for Light Green, Azure, Dark Brown, Scarlet, Blue, and Black. The sett is asymmetrical and uses 264 threads
I would appreciate any thoughts or comments, including suggestions or constructive criticism, before I register this tartan. Thanks!
