What a great job mapping out your quilt! It looks like it is going to be a very colorful quilt. I think I agree with ScrappyLouisa about balancing out the rows of braiding (possibly adding to the right of the quilt). I think it's just a matter of choice. Some need to have things balanced (like my gardens or furniture arranging) and others are OK lopsided! LOL

What a nice combination of block/patchwork. So many times strippy quilts are the same block in a lightning format or set on point with triangles. Gives us all a new idea, too

I agree with scrappylouisa, putting a braid on each end will make the quilt symmetrical. What a stunning quilt it will be with the color/fabric you've chosen.

It all sounds good. So what if it doesn't cover your lap or a bed, it will still be beautiful. You have put plenty of thought and design into it.
