Continue adding blocks untill your row is complete. Once all your blocks are joined into rows, you are ready to join the rows together. You use the same method with the backing strip under the row and the folded strip on top.
At this point I do pin together. Place a pin where the joining strips are matched to the other rows strip. I also put a pin between the joining strips. Be sure to check the placement of your blocks as you go and make sure your blocks match correctly before you add a whole row to the others.
When you finish your quilt can look something like this one.

Love the tutorial. I decided some time ago to do my string quilts this way. No foundation needed. Quilt sandwich is the way to go. Saves steps and no hand sewing. Gets rid of lots of scraps and scraps of batting. Size of blocks is determined by how big my batting scraps are.
