I've seen a quilt made with a bali striped fabric that is cut on the diagonal and then reassembled into a chevron pattern. Can anyone help me figure out how this is done and how much fabric I'd need?

I think you might be talking about a French Braid?

no this was made with a single piece of striped fabric, the chevrons were made when the stripes rejoined

I know this isn't what you were asking for, but some neat things shown for stripes here. I just typed in stripes to the forum search and found a few others.

A chevron like one of the blocks in this quilt? Lower right?

Every block was made with the same one fabric.

Sorry my kitty was blocking the way of the chevron

I've been captivated by it ever since it arrived in my mailbox.
