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..

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.
