    Sandy,
    Here's a link to Matt Newsome's blog entry about half-plaids. It's basically the upper part of a great kilt, only detachable.

    I am assuming you have a double width piece of cloth. I would do one of each red and white. f only a single width then go for the red.

    Remember to stand back about 20-25 feet to see which you really like at a distance! Colors merge, some stripes vanish, etc.

    And is this fabric single or double width?
