I'm in the process of finishing 2 jelly roll quilts. I did stitch in the ditch between the strips and FMQ on the borders. They have turned out surprisingly cute - which is good since they are for my 2 two Tween Nieces. My original plan was to do straight line quilting across the entire quilt following the ditches, but I was worried I would veer off left or right at the borders and end up with everything all cattywompus.
My second plan was to follow the ditches on the body of the quilt anddo straight lines following the length of the borders - kind of like framing the quilt in lines. I will probably do that when I do a more contemporary jelly roll quilt.
