I have two quilts planned that will use stripes. One is a variety of striped fabrics, mostly bright colors, simply cut in large squares and sewn with a wide white sashing. I plan to alternate the direction of the stripes in each placement. My aunt has a quilt made up like this on her porch swing and it is darling!
The other is a Warm Wishes quilt with the strip block having 5 strips. The two outer strips will be my striped fabrics, and will be sewn adjacent to the focus fabric. I am hoping this will add movement to the layout.
Now I just hope I will be able to cut those striped fabrics straight!!!
