If you have ever seen the pattern twisted bargello I did that quilt with primarily fat 1/4's. The fabrics that were full width I cut in half to make all the strips sets the same lenght.

Lori S your bargello quilt is beautiful.
Wendys quilts, I have found there are several ways to come to the same end, some easier and/or faster than others. Give your idea a whirl and see how it works for you. There is no right or wrong way to do any quilts.

My sister just made a baby bargello from 4 1/2 inch strips of pastel batiks. Went up quickly and is beautiful.
