Thank you ALL for the great information. I shudder to think of all the times I was going to modify this to be a bed cover, canopy, or the number of times I thought about slicing and dicing for any number of artistic endeavors. Boy am I glad I never had a rainy day a pair of scissors handy!

Anyhow, I am going forward with the idea of turning this into a full 8-yard kilt. I am now researching who would be the best company / person to do so. As Mr Carbomb indicated, this is an old piece of wool, and if the kilt maker looks at it and decides it is iffy at best to use and refused to make the kilt, I would appreciate that honesty more than someone who is just taking an order and making a buck.

Matt: I appreciate your offer and price on the 4-yard box pleat, but I have my heart set on an 8-yarder.

Any suggestions would be great from those who have been there.

Thanks again to all,
Brian Mackay
