Wonderful, how did you keep your stripes straight and most are so terribly crooked on the bolt? Thank you.

That is where I got my fabric and I was going to do a S&W too!!! I still have enough for that one.

When working with stripes, I cut with the stripe and not the grain of the fabric. You have to open the fabric and cut it in a single layer. Starch works well to keep the slightly off grain cuts from stretching and gentle handling while working with those pieces.
Thanks for looking.
