I thought I posted this when I put up the picture, but it doesn't show up, so I will post again.   The weave structure is a "Bateman Boulevard Tag System" and the draft comes from an article in the June, 2012 Complex Weavers Journal, in the article " Playing Tag with Dr. Bateman by Margaret Arafat.

I changed the yarn sizes from 20/2 mercerized cotton for the warp and tabby, and 5/2 in the pattern weft to 10/2 for the warp and tabby and 3/2 for the pattern weft.  The middle gray warp color let me try a variety of weft color combinations.

I especially like the way you used color on your hems.

RepWeave,  I'm glad you noticed the color in the hems.  On the towel at the bottom of the picture (doesn't show unless  you click on the picture to enlarge it) the stripe is the color of the tabby weft, with a treadling different from plain weave.  It showed up as a bright white, which is nowhere else on the towel.   For the others I switched to a plain weave stripe of the pattern weft.  I think I like that better.

 

Thanks for looking and commenting.
