Check out this pattern.

I saw a finished product at my LQS and they had chosen a stripe that was mixed with a floral. The floral was somewhat larger and they used that to do some really creative quilting. I've got a picture of how they quilted it on my phone but I can't figure out how to get from my to my PC!! If I figure it out I'll post it.

Your fabric would be perfect for it, and it looks easy. I bought the pattern. Basically you cut 9 1/2" squares square to the stripe on point, then cut more squares tilted. Then you section all of the squares into two squares (large and small) and two even sized rectangles. Then you mix and match them. Then you just swap the rectangles. The pattern is easy enough to change the size of the square, add more, etc to make larger or smaller. And the stripe fabric accompanied with a solid is perfect for the borders.
