If I may, you might try strip chain stitching the rectangles (and the inner squares for that matter), a la log cabin construction. It goes so much faster, and you'll be making all the identical blocks at the same time.
Also, I also found the string quilt technique today and thought it'd be a great way to use up my scraps!
