I don't cut strings. If I cut a strip off of yardage I call that piece a strip, not a string. My strings come from trimming quilt backs or from the very end of a piece of fabric that is less than 1.5 inches. Or it may be the leftover end of a strip. I consider selvages a type of string.
Here's some quilts I have made from strings. I have not included quilts made from strips. In other words I don't usually cut anything from yardage to make the string part of these quilts. I just use the string scraps as they are.

String Quilts With a Consistent Center Strip or Heartstring Quilts.
Most of these were foundation pieced on muslin.
(Note: the center strip is the one piece of these quilts that is actually cut from yardage as well as borders if they were added).

Thank you for sharing your string quilts. What a lovely little show! I too love string quilts. Cheers!
Yowzers! What a great variety of string quilts! I especially like the feathers and the stars with the dark background. Was there ever a time in your life when you weren't quilting?
Love your string quilts!!!!
These string quilts are inspiring! I particularly like the polka dot consistent strip quilts. I made a spiderweb quilt that was inspired by your blog. Thank you!
You might realize from seeing my different posts that I just found your headings on your blog. I have fallen into a deep rabbit hole. I love everything you make. I think most of these string quilts are my favorite! LOL I really, really want to make a feather one. I love your color pallete in that one too.
