If I'm using true scraps for string quilts I usually cut so I get the most out of the scrap. This might mean that some come out on the bias and some on straight grain. If one sews a bias cut strip laid diagonally on a foundation square then the outer edge will be on straight of grain when trued up. If the strip starts out on straight of grain the outer edge will be bias when laid on foundation.
