I noticed I had alot of black strings in the bin so I decided to use them as the center strip. I didn't pay any attention to the width of the strips. I love how using black as the center strip adds to the depth of the blocks. The blocks are 6.5". These 18 blocks took me about 2 hours so that's not too bad. Now to make a whole bunch more...

You are so right. Everyone needs a good scrappy stringy quilt - and that black is a great idea! It does add depth and brings out the other colours nicely... have fun! Are you using a foundation?
Looks like you've been having fun with your GO!!
I just love the string quilts! I've doen a few with paper piecing, but think I might want to try using muslin as a foundation next time. I hate taking the paper off:)
Yep--think those black stripes are a great addition--makes all the rest of the colors--pop!!!
You and your black--lol!!
