Looks good to me. If not happy with size, use borders to get shape you want. Me, I would quilt it, bind it and call it DONE.

I cut 3"( sorry not 4") rows across the ends of my very long quilt until I had enough to go around it for a piano key border. I put a narrow border on first to divide it. I do not have a picture because it w
as a wedding gift but it changed the dimension back to a more square shape. I was very pleased with quilt and just did a meander all over.

When I made mine during a jelly roll race at my LQS that's how they turned out. We then squared them up and added a 2 1/2" boarder and a 5" boarder. My Dd liked it so much she asked if she could have it. Of course I couldn't refuse her. Yours looks great. I didn't even know you could do them horizontally. All the directions I've seen would make them be vertical stripes like yours.

I'd LOVE to see a picture of this Jelly Roll Race... it sounds groovy!

I like the different looks you get from different rolls..

Did you use 20" strips for the baby size?

What are the dimensions of the quilt as it is now? You can use it as is for a throw or add borders to it as people have already suggested. It's very pretty.
