This is the philosophy of my wife. We've worked out a modern tartan for our family that we may or may not register in the future. Our family is such a mishmash of stepchildren, second (or third) marriages, stepmothers and stepfathers, "adopted" nannies and "taken-in" brothers and sisters. She feels the only appropriate tartan is one we make ourselves (like our modern family.)
