Don't worry about the pattern not lining up at the join. The pleats break up the pattern anyway, so it's chopped up pretty well, no matter what.

Look for my thread in the Pics forum where I show my own X-Kilt, made out of predator camo. Predator is different from tiger stripe but you'll get the idea.
