in the tips for choosing fabric it is stated there that you can use directional prints for fabrics "a" & "d"and that would include stripes. i am sure as we move through the directions there will be some way to "see" what is going on. you can always make a test block first and have a backup if it doesnt seem right to you. i am a designer at heart (and by training) so i make things work for me and i choose what is pleasant to my eye.
it is just not in my nature to discourage others from using fabrics that they may like but if i can i would rather help them find a solution to use them.

Pick colors you like and go with it
