this is the first quilt I've made that isn't just squares... I want to try to stitch in the ditch, but have never done that and I don't want to mess it up, plus don't know how that would look on the back, since it's reversible... Any ideas?
this is the front, sorry not the best pic

I would stitch diagonally across the blks with the triangles , then continued and stitch across the next full square blk going the other direction. this would mean going down , then up and then down, etc. it would make a nice zig zag on the back for each row and easily get you across the quilt.

Instead of SID, a 1/4" on either side of the seams would be pretty, just use your machine's foot for the guide. A very pretty quilt. Or diagonally through the centre of the blocks so the back will look like diamonds.
