Your quilt looks great!! I think you could just add more rows until you get it the size you want. I think you can make it look quite good!

With the strips, you probably don't have any duplicate fabrics in the quilt, so there's no reason they can't be coordinating. You can test out the size you need to add by safety pinnning a rectangle to the end of the quilt, and adjusting the size of that by folding the fabric.

I agree with just adding a few rows to the ends, and I wanted to tell you I love your fabric! The colors are gorgeous. AND I really love the "visual interest" of the multi-directional seams! I like that look much better than when the seams are all going in the same direction. Beautiful quilt!

Http://Jellyrollfabrics.net has many samples of finished jelly roll quilts to give you ideas. I think you could just add on to the ends. But you are right not your standard jelly roll procedure.

Yes, this is what you could do. But don't just add strips. First, start with the "end" of the strip, so you get a seam somewhere in that row. Then each row you add, be sure there is a diagonal seam somewhere in that strip. At least most of the strips should have a diagonal seam. With coordinating fabrics, you'd never know the difference. Add a few at the top and a few at the bottom, too.

maggiew your quilt is very pretty. Be sure to get the jelly roll from the same place if you add on to this. I agree with others and think you could just add on to this and also add some border. jellyrollfabric.net has a sale on at this time, in case you are using some of the same fabric line.. I just ordered some earlier this week to go with the rolls I ordered back in Sept. (I'm not affiliated with this company). I decide to et duplicates of what I ordered earlier so will have enough when I decide what I m going to make with them.

I made mine longer by just adding about 6 more rows. Since it was batik it was easy to "match" (actually "not match" since nothing else matched either). Just start like you did originally by cutting that first strip in two so that the color breaks in the row. But I found it easier to piece the long strip and then cut it to the length you need for each row and then sew it together row by row.

I agree with Tartan.
I have a friend who wanted her flag quilt just a little larger and she added piano keys to give a fringe effect, it came out really cute

I've never made a jelly roll race, but I really like yours!! The blues on one side and the green onteh other look so pretty!

I would just keep it simple and add some more strips till you got the length you wanted. I added a piano keyboard to this charity quilt because I didn't want it to be square.
