    Rex,

    I am not a kiltmaker so I'm not sure how well it will translate into a kilt.

    But I think you designed a gorgeous tartan

    What did you name it?

    Cheers

    Jamie

    Let me suggest "Pride of Rex"; because you can certainly be proud of your design!

    And thanks again. I am hoping this one will pleat to the stripe well without looking too much like a lawn chair (I am hoping more for the spines on a collection of old books).

    For the moment - and this is only because the web site requires a name and I didn't think of something generic like "Opus 1" - I named it "African Violet," because my most immediate reaction on seeing the computer generated result was to recall my mother's collection of violets in clay pots on the kitchen window sill.

    Phil was being a little coy above when he suggested I might come up with a tartan of browns and purples and name it "Peat and Heather." I had shared the design with him earlier and mused whether "African Violet" was an appropriate name for a tartan. I greatly appreciated both his private and public assurance that I had not designed "Miasma of the Peat Bog."

    Regards,
    Rex.
    At any moment you must be prepared to give up who you are today for who you could become tomorrow.
