JenniePenny, your blocks are wonderful! Are you working from a book?

I love stripes too ... this quilt is one I made using Anita Grossman Soloman's book "Rotary Cutting Revolution" - "XCentric" block. From one striped fabric.

I like stripes for borders, some blocks and binding.

depends on why I'm making. Strips are great for Potholders.

Once upon a time, I did not like stripes. Now I look for them and love them.

MarthaT - fabulous! Love it! It's so bright and cheerful!

Love that quilt. Wow, stunning.

Thanks to the others who showed their stripe quilts. They just fascinate me, the way you can use them to really make the pattern turn out unique.

I love JenniePenny's quilts. I've avoided stripes too. When I went to try this block. I didn't have enough to do much. Still want to do this, but having a very hard time getting stripes when I'm fabric shopping. It just doesn't sink in the old brain yet.
