Sampling Taquete

Taquete and Two Colors!
I am weaving three different treadling blocks but using only two colors. I have a nice textile, but don't know if's really taquete, I will keep reading the book Weft-Faced Pattern Weaves  Tabby to Taquete, by Nancy Arthur Hoskins.
 
This is what I have so far...........................................................

I have woven: tie-down 1 with pattern treadle 4
                        tie-down 1 with pattern treadle 5
                        tie-down 2 with pattern treadle 4
                        tie-down 2 with pattern treadle 5
                       
I then moved over to pattern treadles 6 and 7
                       tie-down 1 with pattern treadle 6
                       tie-down 1 with pattern treadle 7
                       tie-down 2 with pattern treadle 6
                       tie down 2 with pattern treadle 7
 
I then moved over to pattern treadles 8 and 9  
                       tie-down 1 with pattern treadle 8
                       tie-down 1 with pattern treadle 9
                       tie-down 2 with pattern treadle 8
                       tie-down 2 with pattern treadle 9
 
I alternated my colors orange-blue-orange-blue throughout.                 
 
 
 

 

Here is green and orange alternating on a red/dark red warp.
