Default How do you quilt a jelly roll quilt?

Hi Folks,

I made a quilt from a jelly roll by sewing the end of one fat quarter to the end of the next fat quarter, etc which made one really long 2 1/2 inch strip. Then I cut the strip in two and sewed the two strips together the long way. Then I cut that in two, etc. Now I have a strange looking quilt about 75 inches square full of 2 inch strips. I am not sure how to quilt it. I am not an accomplished quilter. I can stitch in the ditch. If I were to stitch in the ditch on each side of each 2 inch strip from one side of the quilt to the other, will I have a problem by not stitching across the strips?
I used a batting that allows up to 8 inches between quilting rows.
