*** Why not just cut the 1st strip the length you want + seam allowance.
***
*** Add another strip & keep mixing up the color strips
***
*** Keep adding strips until the width you want.

Okay, I give up. What is a "race quilt?"

I went and looked at all of the suggested sites, and this one makes it very clear and easy to make a JRR quilt any size I want. IMHO

It was even a free download!

A friend of mine wanted to make a jelly roll race that was 60x80. I figured it out for her using 3" strips.
If you use 3.25" strips. Cut 56 of them. The quilt should come out 70x88. If you use 3.5" strips it will be 70x96.
Good luck! Ann

Thanks for posting this question! And thanks, Madamekelly, for your response. I did one that was not the normal size and this ebook would have been so easy.

Melanie, love your tutorial. Can't say I've been a huge fan of the JRR quilts but yours is great!

Borders! Make the first jelly roll race, then add borders of any of the included fabrics you both like best.

I just made a jelly roll race using two jelly rolls. It's 58 x 84, so twin size, no borders.

I 'raced' the quilt length-wise, and made it 84" long because lots of my family members are tall!

You could 'race' the quilt across the bed or down the length of the bed in sections with sashing between each section and on the borders. That ought to get you the full size quilt you're thinking of.

Good luck!
