Yes! I'm making another right now too, but for FMQ practice samples instead of string quilt blocks. If you want the "easy" way, after you've sewn your blocks together, baste on the backing with your preferred method (I use Elmer's glue, remember to spread it on the batting not the backing), and then you can simply stitch down the seams either with straight stitching or with a serpentine stitch if you prefer the look. You've already done the quilting of the batting when you join your strips to the front, so all you need to do is attach the backing in some way. You don't have to worry about the quilting distance since you've already taken care of it with your strip sewing.

The "more investment" way is to baste and then quilt as you normally would if you prefer a more quilted look
