I really like the look of this done on the diagonal!
I found directions for this on a blog somewhere, the hard part is keeping all the strips in order.
I did a fractured quilt using 4 panels. They were cut into 2" strips, two the same and two with the cut offset from the first (first pair cut 2", 2" . . . second cut 1", 2", 2" . . . ) you have to be careful to go wide enough to get differentiation when you sew it back together. I think I went a bit narrow.
Then they are sewing together into two identical panels. Then those two are cut apart the other direction, with one being 2", 2" . . . and the other 1", 2", 2" and then those are sewing together to make one panel.
This is the best picture I have (it's out in the shed waiting to be quilted). I didn't care for how it turned out for the birds, but love it with the flowers.
This is another where I only did the fracture for the border, the center panel is the same.
