You should swap your strings.
I keep all of mine. I have them all cut into 1", 1-1/2", 2", 2-1/2", and 3" strips. I have several blocks made with them. I just have to put them together now.

Beautiful string quilts. Goes to show there's no limit to the imagination in quilting.

The string quilt was one of my favorite things to piece as a child. We used squares of newspaper and peeled it off later. I like the idea of muslin and leaving it there better.
