Buy enough fabric to cut your strips in one piece.
Get 2 1/2 yards of EACH color fabric and cut your strips not salvage to salvage but cut them cut side to cut side (the length of the fabric). Sew them together and the top is done. Fine for a beginner. Just remember to sew one row right to left and the next left to right and you will avoid a bow.
you'll have some fabric left for your stash or could use some to make matching pillows.
WOW !!!! Now why didn't I think of that....I have wanted a large quilt with stripes fully across and pondered on the logistics of doing this....thinking seams staggered on all stripes. WOW !!! My plans can now proceed.
I LOVE the stripped quilt best in the three patterns.
