Jelly Roll Race quilt

Today I finished my jelly roll race quilt. The top is really quick and easy to make, if you google "jelly roll race quilt" there are lots of tutorials for it. The top took about two and a half hours, but came out much bigger than I was expecting (a friend told me it would be "lap sized" and I didn't double check this info!), and I'm not an experienced quilter!!
A few quick lessons from Craftsy later (Here is a link to the course) and I was ready to have a go. It is by no means perfect, there are quite a few tucks on the back and my quilting "design" was just scribbling really, but I did have fun making it and will definitely make a quilt again.
The backing is some calico that I tie dyed with Procion dyes. It is self-bound because I am lazy!
Here is the front

and here is the back (you can see a stray thread I had to snip)
