I just completed 128 what I call string blocks to make two string block quilts similar to yours. I made my blocks 8.5 inches, no foundation used. After all the blocks not sure I have the energy to make a strip pieced border. Here I was trying to reduce my scrap pile but that didn't happen.
These I would classify as string quilts due to the strips of fabric being various widths and lengths. I like your top.
