When making striped christmas stockings do you think that using approximately 10 to 12 fabrics is too much for 1 1/2" strips? Would you use some of them more than once on one side and not use all of the different fabrics?

I think it depends on what size the stockings are. I myself love tiny stripes of vivid colors, the less brilliant ones I would make slightly larger so the brighter ones would show up better.

Does this look too clashy? Would you use only some of these fabrics or go with all of them? It is from top to tip of toe 16" by 7"
