I made that quilt from some stripes I just happened to have in my stash. I wanted to try it before I bought some other striped fabric. It was so much fun & it was fast to make. I ended up buying the same fabric Jenny used but I haven't made another one yet. I will though. I'm getting ready to go away but I'll try to remember when I get home to post a pic.

I found an old sheet to try this pattern with. It was super fun to do and probably one of the quickest quilts I ever put together. Using an "uneven" stripe, it was very interesting to see the different triangle combinations I ended up with.

Anything less then 1 1 /4" yard and the squares will have to be smaller. Here is a picture of one of the quilts.

I like that quilt and want to make it for my son-in-law for Christmas, using stripes that are darker colors. However, I am worried about finding striped fabric and not knowing what the end result will look like. I would love to see pictures if anyone on here has made one like that.
