Sea Glass Jelly roll quilt almost ?
This is my first attempt at a simple jelly roll quilt- however, it's not so simple. Lessons learned so far- how to sew strips together on a slant and that a jelly roll does not equal a jelly roll. The roll I purchased ended up having 20 strips so needless to say I either have to
1. Add border(s) on what I have made so far . I was thinking one in turquoise and the other in sea glass green or
2. Buy another 20 strip jelly roll and make another quilt and sew halves together.
Thoughts?

I would go with option 2 and get another roll. I would put the strips in a different sequence from the first section. And yes, a jelly roll is basically a roll of 2.5" strips. The number can vary from a low of about 20 to a high of 44 or so.
