    I used a two jelly rolls from Walmart also. Each had 24 strips. I think that's the problem. Use no more than 40 or 42 and it runs sideways, otherwise the longer initial strip causes the strips to run up and down. I used mine just the way it worked best and added a couple of borders and some pinwheel blocks I had laying around and it looks fine. Just use it like it is. We won't tell the quilt police!

    NO NO NO, don't rip...even the sides, put a couple borders on it and it will be just fine. I've made several, even a small one for a baby, and they all look different...You can either do the piecing like you did, or you can angle the piecing, either way if fine. I like the different looks you get from different rolls..

    Having seen so many horizontal stripes I am pleased to see your vertical stripes. In one of Kaffe Fassett's book he has designed a vertical striped one.

    I made a jellyroll quilt like yours but I cut 18 inches off the first strip and as you join them all strip lengths are different, I then made my binding by sewing 4 inch strips together from the different color strips to make the binding and this really added appeal. I think your quilt looks great as is.

    Very pretty, I would just add borders if you want it bigger.

    It looks great, it's the beauty of the jelly roll, colors that match and we all know that horiztional stripes make you look thinner LOL

    I love the fabric. Looks great and makes a good size throw.
