    I've seen a quilt made with a bali striped fabric that is cut on the diagonal and then reassembled into a chevron pattern. Can anyone help me figure out how this is done and how much fabric I'd need?

    I think you might be talking about a French Braid?

    no this was made with a single piece of striped fabric, the chevrons were made when the stripes rejoined

    I know this isn't what you were asking for, but some neat things shown for stripes here. I just typed in stripes to the forum search and found a few others.

    A chevron like one of the blocks in this quilt? Lower right?

    Every block was made with the same one fabric.

    Sorry my kitty was blocking the way of the chevron
