When cut on the bias, stripes make a wonderful 1 1/2" inner border. What I mostly use stripes for is binding,cut in bias strips. Stripes make very interestingbindings and add a lot to the finished look of your quilt. If they are not cut on the bias, my strips will make you drunk because I obviously don't sew straight. LOL
