Yes, one of my concerns about the MacMedic tartan is that it does rather look like "Clan McTablecloth." The point, however, is the repeating pattern of red crosses.

Matt and I discussed this, and he felt that getting the larger sett would make it look more tartan, and less tablecloth. Since a couple of people (including my dad) have made mention of the tablecloth resemblance, I'm not sure we entirely succeeded. 8)
