Notes: 

This was inspired by the 3 panel huipils of Guatamala and the brown cotton textiles of Mexico.  Two warps, first one 3 yds for the central panel, and 5yds for the two side panels. Yarns are natural cotton flake and a tiny sand colored boucle of color-grown cotton.  The brocade(overlay-underlay) with the tiny boucle yarn is very nice and all the designs are derived from an X.
