I have two final candidate drafts and I like them both but I can't decide which suits the warp color changes better.
Maybe the first one.

I See Red
The remedy for yesterday's cashmere blunder was a no brainer; because the wefts were clasped, I unpicked, (rather than attempt a sexy maneuver with a needle,) wove another 40cm and finished the piece. Instead of starting the second piece, I cut off the first piece and began pulling the rest of the warp forward; I couldn't finish tonight, but tomorrow morning I hope to have shortened warp with more even tension that can go back on the loom later. Then I'm putting the red warp on so I can make the commission piece first, then this warp afterwards. I'll take a picture of the red warp when it's on the loom; it has three reds in BB-AB-AA-AC-CC-CB-BB progression, 24 inches, 18EPI. The weft, I think, is B, just one color.

I love the way these squares look curvy in this advance twill; I've used it before but I think it suits this red-on-red combo.
This looks fancier but I haven't managed to modify the number of warp ends in a repeat with what I've already got in the warp chain. Working backwards, I know.
Maybe the first one.

Both drafts are good but I think I like the kind of querkiness of the first draft. ?Tumbling blocks.
I'm trying to remember what I wove with this style of wobbly squares, but larger. I seem to remember in the cloth the lines weren't as interesting as on the screen which disappointed Ben and me. (Ben's most definitely voting for the first, also.) It'd still suit the project, but...
