Fabric auditions for Barcode Series #4

This started from the 5-scrap rectangle thrown together during a tryout of my "new" serger/overlocker. It needs about 6 more rounds. These strips are narrower than in the previous quilts and there's perhaps a bit much of the stripe...Previously I covered the stripes with net to knock back the brightness a bit, but that didn't do the quilting stitches any favours. In this one the knocking back will have to be via the quilting.

Also I prefer the more random strips, rather than the regularity of these expanding squares. But it makes for all sorts of other possibilities.

Toooo many stripes at the moment! (And that bit of green doesn't pass the audition.)
