Horizons on the Vertical

A play with scrappy stripes, set horizontally, in vertical strips. The only requirement here was they needed to be stripes.... (or a few neutrals just to calm the thing down a little bit.)
This is a generous lap quilt, with thick warm and natural 100% cotton batting to make it useful autumn through the winter.
Even the border is scraps of stripes, and the binding is a brick color with orange/yellow stripes reading "California" in different sizes. I bought several yards of this fabric at a going out of business sale of a fabric store called Hancock Fabrics, several years ago. It just seemed right for this quilt.
