When I first made string blocks I just added fabrics without regard to size or color. After making 100's of them that looked really wonky I've finally come up with a plan. I cut all the strips 2" wide, use the same color in the center of each set of blocks, additional rows may not have the same fabric but the colors are the same. If you look at the photos, there are 4 blocks put together and you can see where different fabrics were used. I also put a large triangle of fabric in the corners, that saves having little tiny pieces in the corners when the blocks are trimmed to their 9 1/2" size.
