I'm not trying to be argumentative, but I DO like box pleats, and since you have 7 yards of this tartan, you might consider making a 4-yard, box pleat kilt, and from the remaining 3 yards you could make yourself a half-plaid and a fly plaid, or a special lady in your life could make herself a pleated skirt or any number of things, including a snazzy jacket of some sort (for you or her).

Just a cheapskate's perspective!
