String quilts are such a good way for "me" to use up my scraps. I generally cut my paper 8" and then cut my blocks down to 7"....it is more manageable for me. I also cut my strips from 1 1/2" up to 2". Again, for my comfort. Then I put 6 blocks across and 8 blocks down. This way, I can use just one width of fabric for the backing and quilt it myself on a DSM. I sometimes back them with a flannel depending on the time of year. Most I make for charity, but always keep a couple back for the "whatevers".......they are always appreciated and they are such fun to make!
