Yup, this was right up my alley. Though I questioned my 'make a bunch of stripe slabs then cut them up' methodology, I went with it, and had fun doing it. The finished block is 13 1/2" x 24 1/2", and my solid scrap bin is just a little less packed.

Stripes
I do like a stripe. Make it improv and I love it even more. So my little creative heart kinda did a jump when I saw that M-R/@quiltmatters' Bee Sewcial prompt was Stripes! All sizes, maxi color with red and orange being slightly dominant, straight, wonky, diagonal or even curvy, with the last detail being a 1/2" light gray strip from one edge to another.

This turned out beautifully! I can only imagine how great your block will be with all the others, and the quilt that will result. No doubt she's entering it in the QuiltCon "Stripes Challenge." It's great to reduce solid scraps in the bin, isn't it? That's something I need to do too, as I have two bins of solid scraps. Yikes!
