Oh that's so pretty!! I don't have any ideas but can't wait to see what you do with is :D

I used a stripe in the center of my D9P -- I was very careful after cutting to make sure the stripe went the same way in every block

(the quilt looks a little like rainbow vomit, but it's all turtle fabric, and i LOVE it!)

I love it too!!! :D

I actually can see it as the point of stars. It would have a radiating effect.

I like to use strip fabrics for sashings cut with the strips running crosswise not lengthwise, or cut on the bias. Also for borders cut this way. With a narrow stop border (just learned this term this week on the Board) you could use any pattern and I would like to use lots of bright colors like your fabric.

What does "D9P" mean?? I do love the stripe in that quilt!!

D9P is disappearing nine patch

You could open up the weave, putting the magenta in the spaces to look like woven ribbons on a background of dots. That stripe is certainly strong enough to work well with it going both ways in the weave. Something like this:

I like what you did with your stripe and the original one in question could be done the same way only use it in the larger squares because it is a lwider stripe I also think some corresponding starred fabric would be nice to use.
