That is a good idea. You could also use it as a border as others have suggested, and you could make the sawtooth triangles for the border. You could probably make triangles out of the strips cut the same width (as the stripe) and lay another square on top and sew through the middle diagonal, cut apart. I would probably use black as a rest for the eyes, but I am partial to black.

The stripe especially would be great for borders. You could cut the strips the width of the stripe, or you could also cut the stripes individually, and use it as a border. Any of the quilts that are strippies would probably work. Just remember to add the extra 1/2 inch to the cuts for your seams.
