Check out www.quiltville.com

She has all kinds of free patterns. The one that comes to mind is called 'crumb quilts'

I'll attach a picture of one that I did.

Oh Kim, that sweet and simple one is sooo cute! I have some strings collected but not enough to do a whole quilt. I used to throw all mine out until recently when I saw what all of the string quilters were doing with them! So maybe now I might have just enough saved to do something like the quilt you posted. Thanks for the inspiration!

Sew the small strips together till you have a large enough piece made, then take your favorite size square ruler & lay on top of the pieced fabric & rotary cut around to have a nice pieced square. Save them up & sew together for a nice scrappy quilt.
