I usually don't buy stripes but I love the idea of using them in a border.

I love experimenting with stripes. String quilting is good as well as so many others. Be adventurous.

Stripes are great for quick lap robes or baby blankets. Just cut out squares and arrange them to look like a basket-weave pattern. Surround them with coordinating borders, and you end up with a quilt that looks a lot more complicated than it was.

Fussy cut stripes for quilt patterns. One piece of striped fabric can be cut so-o-o many ways
