Quartered Stripes

Watched a tutorial from the Missouri Star Quilt Company with Jenny Doan, and just had to try out her technique for Quartered Stripes, using striped fabric.  I bought this from ikea several years ago.

I am doing a completely random arrangement, because I sewed the 4 squares together to make a big block.  It didn't occur to me to arrange the separate blocks...and I really don't think it matters!  that's my story....unless I decide to rip it apart
