Welcome to the Quilting Board!
I did a "jelly roll race 2" with it and now am trying to figure out a nice way to home machine quilt it. In the small white blocks I was thinking of a putting the letter "S" and give it to brother and his new bride, for the last name. And a S is right side up either direction.
Any thought of how to quilt it....toss them my direction. I'm somewhat new at machine quilting, but can be up for a challenge! Hmmm I can't seem to attach a photo from my phone. Will do that on the computer then.

Posting a picture will help. Often I like to pick a quilting pattern based on some other component of the quilt. Maybe there is some design in one of your fabrics that could be repeated in the quilting.
I've seen leaves and waves and pebbles/circles on these quilts and they all can look nice depending on what else is going on with the quilt.
I have never made one before but if you have any large stencils with a background design, mark the quilt and quilt it that way.
A Good Friend, like an old quilt, is both a Treasure and a Comfort
Here is the photo....couldn't figure out how to post a photo from a smart phone...'stupid human' haha!
It was fun and fast to put together...kinda wish that my red was spread throughout a bit better. All I did was open and then go in order.

If you are going to put S's in the squares, how about writing messages or sayings in some of the strips. You could place the then right side up in some strips and upside down in others. Between words you could use wavy lines.
I am using the same fabric to make a large hexagon quilt.
Teri-if you aren't all sandwiched and ready to quilt you could ALWAYS take some of those rows apart and re-sew them so you reds are more spaced out and to your liking... Very pretty BTW! I would cross-hatch... it is fast, looks good and easy for not so experienced quilter..... show us when it is finished....
I used my walking foot and did straight line quilting down the center of each strip.
I love the colors in your jelly roll, and often simple straight line quilting is the best way to quilt a quilt like this. Nice job.
We did this at church and that is what I did too. I love jelly rolls! lo

I love my life!
