Help with a strippy quilt
Please excuse the wrinkles in this quilt top as it has been languishing in the closet for several years now because I cannot figure out what, if anything, to put in the four large, vertical, white areas.
There is no pattern, as this was one of those make-it-up-as-you-go-along projects; it just sort of evolved.
I've considered applique, but since this will eventually go to a young man (or a middle aged man if I can't get it together!), flowers seem inappropriate.
Any and all suggestions, no matter how far fetched you might deem them to be, will be welcomed!
Thank you in advance for your input.

Okay, you said far-fetched......
This quilt reminds me of one in the first, year long, round robin I did with 10 very special friends about 20 years ago. With the challenge parameters we had set, anyone was allowed to even cut apart and reassemble a quilt received in their round .......... and one of the strippy flying geese quilts was done exactly that way! It turned out SO interesting! Wish I had a picture of it, but it looked sort of like this graph below.
Your quilt be will wonderful no matter what you do with it!
