The panto quilt took 2 yards...there's no reason why you can't use a 2 yard neutral piece from stash to compliment your scrap strips. If you have CW repro fabrics use a light backgrounded fabric and add dark strips....or the reverse use a dark fabric and add light strips. Maybe the thing to do is find the 2 yard piece and then select scraps to go with it. I need to do this more often! But haven't found time to sew much this summer.
