PM me if you like, McElmurry. I can send some jpg's your way.

I think I have discovered the source of my confusion. The Tartan Ferret color bar does not match the thread count.

B24 R4 B4 R4 B4 G20 W24 T6 W24 G20 B22 R4 B4 R4 B22 G20 W24 T6 W24 G20 B4 R4 B4 R4
The middle of the triple red stripe should be the beginning of the repeat but the blue 24 appears to be missing. Based on the bar I thought they continued the thread count as a mirror image which creates the triple red stripe. So is the bar correct or is there a blue 24 missing from the bar?
