Congratulations, you have just made your first bargello quilt!
What you did by sewing the strips together and then cutting them in strips is the same way you do a bargello.
With a bargello, you make the wavy and points effect by varying the width of your strips that you cut from your "tube". You can now either design your own bargello or easily follow a pattern. The patterns will give you direction on the width to cut the strips and if you have to add plain background between the stripe sets. Easy peasy.
