There should be enough Alberta tartan left once my mom makes her sash to do some other stuff with it...

I was at a shop recently that had one of Burnett and Struth's Bilt Kilts. It was charcoal grey with Maple Leaf tartan in the pleats and, I have to say, looked really good. Alt.Kilt also does what they call an "accent pleat," which is a single tartan pleat on a solid kilt.

Anyone ever done that with an XKilt, as Tartan Tess suggested, and have comments, pics, or directions?
