Kaffe Fassett has a book with a really cool striped shirting quilt in it. There are pictures of people's versions of the quilt on Flickr. http://www.flickr.com/photos/drobertatclemson/17848270/

you can't really see the quilt well here, but i did large star blocks with stripes, checks and plaids. a king size quilt. they looked great.

I would use them to make a REALLY crazy quilt. That way you wouldn't have to worry about them matching or going any particular direction. If you put a solid or almost solid between them would add interest too. I also love stripes for bindings but that would take a long time to use them up if you've got a lot.

I don't have many stripes, so I would use them for backings.

Stripes can be used for sashing, also.

Oooo amma, that is so pretty! I was looking for stripes at my LQS today because I don't have any, but they didn't have much.

I dont have many stripes in my stash,but I use them in paper piecing....crazy quilt blocks.

Stripes make wonderful bindings.

I love stripes cut on the diagonal used in bindings (I know it won't help much with the stash):-)

I love the quilt pattern called One for the Money but it requires yardage rather than scraps or FQs. A friend of mine once participated in a stripe swipe. The idea was so simple. For each block they took two squares of striped fabric (A and B) and placed them on top of each other then cut them into quarter square triangles. Then they took opposite triangles and paired them up to resew them. To clarify, the first block's "north and south" triangles were fabric A and the "east and west" triangles were the B fabric. The second block was the opposite. Then they swapped blocks. The quilts were spectacular.

Caution - these quilts probably would not appeal to those who
prefer coordinated colors, they were busy!
