Thoughts on pleating to the stripe

[Barb T]

When you are pleating to the stripe, you don't have to pleat to one of the pivots. The red block looks wide enough to me that you could pleat to the red block that lies to one side of the double blue pivot. Why don't you try pinning that up and see what it looks like?

For a beginning kilmaker, getting a double stripe perfectly centered in each pleat, plus getting all the horizontal stripes to line up perfectly is a real challenge. My suggestion would be to pick either the solid red block or the solid green block, whichever you like the look of. That way, you would only have to match horizontal stripes.

But, ultimately, it really depends on which you like the best! Let us know what you decide!
