Robert Kaufman is coming out with a new collection of striped fabrics - 14 colorways in all. That's a lot of stripes!
Do you personally use stripes? What do you use them for?

I guess I haven't bought any stripes because I'm not sure how to use them either. If I did more clothes sewing, would buy them for that. I wish the powers that be would make more clothes with stripes, especially tops as they tend to make a person look taller and slimmer and I could use that.

I Cut on the bias and use as my binding. Gives a lot of interest to the edge of a quilt. When I see a strip4 I buy it and sometimes look for fabrics with the same colors and plan a quilt around the stripe that will be the binding.
