There was a quilt with diagonal stripe sashing and borders (going the right way) across a whole quilt a couple of weeks ago. It looked great but I bet it was hard to do!

To get stripes on the diagonal, just cut the straight striped fabric on the diagonal, then use as normal for binding. I do french binding because it is thicker and easier to get everything to lay flat and smooth.
If you always do, what you have always done, The results never change. Change is the wings you give yourself.
I saw a table runner that had the white and red diagonal on the outside border. I would once the quilt top is finished lay it out and see if it looks like what you want to happen.

I'm new to this, but I think a "tube" border would make things interesting. Maybe of the same fabric as the quilt, only in diagonal strips.
I put a diagonal strip border on a quilt, and I really liked it.
I've used striped fabric for binding, but never as sashing. I think it would add "p-zaazz". Hope you share a photo when you're done.
