I too perfer the center strings to be all the same thourgh the quilt....really does help to settle the eye....and black is my favorite!!! Use light/white/cream strings on both sides for a stained glass look!!! A real black and white beauty!!

I have done string quilts both ways and I like the center strip the same color for some reason. I just finished one using random strips with flannels, not using the same in center and like it also, but I like center strips all the same.

I am working on a string quilt right now. In going through my string bag before I began, I found many pieces of red fabric. So I begin each block with a strip of red down the middle, then I finish with strings of all colors and patterns. It is addictive! That's all I want to do is to make string blocks. I place the red strips in four blocks in the shape of a diamond. I love it! I think the main thing with strings is just have fun. There are no rules!
