Thumbs up Score from resale shop!

DH and I went to our favorite resale shop today looking for clay pots for a project he is working on. While he was looking for clay pots, I drifted to the fabric aisle and found this 7 yard piece of symmetrical sett, tartan plaid. It made from the softest wool. (Yes I did the ash test to verify it was pure wool.) It is a heavy weight (probably 16 oz) wool that currently sells for around $85.00 per meter! The shocking part is I got it for $7.99! whoopee! Happy dance!

The tartan is not of my clan, (McDuff) and it may take me a while to identify it, so if any of you have any ideas, or guesses, or know of a way to quickly identify it, please speak up. It has red, black, green, white, yellow, and just the smallest touch of blue. ( Clan Tartans are only allowed to have six or less colors.)

Now, what to use it for...
