Spools and a Plan for the Stripes

I really don't like square quilts so this is my solution to not have a square quilt.

Right now it is about 50 x 73.  Each spool is 10 inches.  It needs black borders on both sides, top and bottom.  The spacers in the middle are 3 1/2 inches finishing at 3 inches.

I  have plans for the stripes that are winging their way to me from Ohio.  I have for a long, long time wanted to do this.  I have been collection
stripes, and this will put me over the top.

I am not sure if all my stripes will match like this one does.  I think it is Kaffe Fasset's pattern.

Of course, I won't make it square! LOL!

Remember this?

Remember this?  The ugly thing from way back when?

And I cut it up into this? 

Then I found a stash of half square triangles? 

 And then it started going together like this?

And then it grew to this?

And I decided to put some of the black areas together like this?

Well, it is being sewn together now. 

Looks much better than when we started, right!
