Default String-aling

This Labor Day weekend I am planning on diving into my messy craft room and kill the beast! I have so much in the way of scraps....but I hate throwing them away. Someone suggested I make a string quilt with them....just keep the scraps I will need for a string quilt. That sounds good, but I never made one before.

What is a good measurements to keep scraps for a string quilt? One inch wide, two inches wide? 2 to 12 inches long? I do want to be reasonable, but I don't want any regrets in throwing too much away.

Don't string quilt blocks need backing, too. is that paper or muslin?

I've seen some of the videos and how-tos....I'm just looking for some scrap/string organization tips.

Thanks!
