Sure.

Cut to the outside a little bit, then sand down to the line. The problem with jigsaws is they leave a rough edge (depending on which blade you use). The sanding will take care of that. I haven't used plexi for quilts, but I have made templates for kite panels out of it. The edges need to be smooth or you'll run into issues with your rotary cutter.
