One classic pattern for using up left over stripes is the Roman Stripes pattern.
Sewing on a foundation (in my case left over batting I pieced together from the cuttings of various quilts) the blocks go together fast and easy.
Next step is to decide on the layout.
One option would be some kind of zig-zag (not a big fan)
Or turning all the stripe sections to the center to make diamonds (also not super excited about that)
In the end I decided the classic layout of all stripes sections pointing in the same direction and having the different solid triangles layed out in diagonal rows.
I joined the blocked with narrow dark blue stripes, then quilted the top diagonally with wavy lines.
This was a fast, easy quilt with the added bonus of using scrap batting and scrap fabric (in this batics I had left from my City Sampler I made in 2017)
