This is the third in a set of tool bags I am making. This latest red one has a traditional design of Chinchero, Peru. The Chinchero weavers usually weave this in four colors although I have seen two color examples too. I used three. I started with four and had to unweave as the combination just didn't work and so I replaced two of the four colors. That is the price to pay for not having made a sample!! I had used red, green and purple together before with nice results but it was the fourth color that ruined everything. I have yet to sew it up.
You can read more about the structure of this weave on my blog today.
Very nice!
At first glance I thought these were book covers (I tend to look at pix before reading descriptions!!)

What type of loom did you use?
It was woven on my backstrap loom.
