String Quilts

The quilt that I am currently working on for a client is a string quilt.  Essentially a string quilt is a quilt comprised of strips of cloth typically left over from other projects.  The fabric that I am using are scraps left over from three other quilts that I have made for the same client.  Below are examples of the type of string quilt that I am trying to make.

Each quilt block is built upon squares of stabilizer fabric and four squares help make the four pointed star with diamonds on the sides.  Below is the layout before I start adding the strips.
