Since you cut the strips yourself, could it be that when you sewed the strips end to end you didn't alternate fabric choices enough? I have never done one that did come from an already precut jelly roll and in them you just take the strips as they come so I never thought about what color followed what color. Its still beautiful. Besides erstan947 suggestions you could also cut into blocks for a Rail Fence Quilt. See
