I would either SID or wavy lines...cross hatching is too much work!

Keep away from people who belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you too can become great. Mark Twain
Hmmmm,, since it's to be a rainbow, large curved lines....
It depends. I love crosshatching but with all the colors, it might not work out. I would stitch in the ditch and then maybe do a curving line or circles or loops and have fun in each strip.
A Good Friend, like an old quilt, is both a Treasure and a Comfort
I would not SITD on a quilt like this, where all the seams go in the same direction. I don't think it would add anything to the quilt, and it might even make it a little wonky. I like nativetexan's idea of long curved lines. Or Baptist fan would be great.
This will be lovely! I did a similar rainbow quilt. I find it extremely difficult to do sitd. Instead, I did a straight stitch about 1/4 inch on each side of the lengthwise seams. I like it...simple and clean looking.
But I bet whatever you do will look awesome!
