String quilts are (generally) scrap quilts made from scrap strips of fabric in various widths/lengths. Strip quilts are (again, generally) made from a specific width/length of fabric strips - cut from new fabrics or using precuts. ( jelly roll quilts are strip quilts) , not string quilts

When I think of strip quilts I think of the Jelly Roll Race quilt. My string quilts come from my scrap drawer and are various widths and lengths and I sew them to a foundation, usually phone book pages.

This is my scrap/strip quilt that I just finished....they were strips and scraps....My mom made these all the time I was growing up, because all she would have was scraps other people would give her......they helped keep us warm on many cold nights.. so many quilts on the bed, you couldn't turn over....LOL I used the 10" piecing papers from Missouri Star Quilt Co...

These I would classify as string quilts due to the strips of fabric being various widths and lengths. I like your top.
