    xman, I am not sure why, but I prefer this http://www.scotweb.co.uk/tartandesign/details/42739

    to the one I changed as per your suggestion. But, like I said I am a noob here and want something that works, as I'd like to see this as a kilt in some form. Is this better, or did I tweak to something that has now become harder to pleat?

    (I am so glad everyone else likes this. Every response does give me a thrill. I do think there should be a few lighter or even white based tartans but that wasn't why I did this one. It just happened to work out that way when I thought of the meaning behind the colors I was choosing.)

    Personally I think you have balanced the white well with your other colours. Im not much of a white in the kilt person but I have found the Dress Gordon to be very nice tartan with white mixed in the blue and green. Your tartan is similar that the colour combinations keep the white in tow so to speak. They keep the white from jumping out too much and giving it a very attractive colour combination. Well done, I hope you have this made into cloth.

    I particularly like the inspiration behind the design. Autism is baffling and painful for the person who lives in that world, and also for parents and families. I'm sure I will never be able to fathom the world my daughter lives in, but if buying a bit of fabric could raise some funds to find answers and provide support, then count me in.
    EPITAPH: Decades from now, no one will know what my bank balance looked like, it won't matter to anyone what kind of car I drove, nor will anyone care what sort of house I lived in. But the world will be a different place, because I did something so mind bafflingly eccentric that my ruins have become a tourist attraction.

    My son is autistic, so I'm definitely in for this.
