I also would be in favor of cutting it up. I would cut it down the middle (or maybe off center) of each white stripe and add a strip of something else from end to end, then do it again horizontally, just picking a spot in the middle of your rectangular blocks. Would still be a grid, but I'm envisioning almost a plaid. Of course, it is fine just the way it is so you could just finish it up and send it along it's way.

I don't think it really needs anything else. The lines are like food should be: simple, but good, and elegantly served. If you feel it needs something else, put on a couple of narrow borders to frame your masterpiece, do an all-over quilting pattern, bind it, and present it as a gift to be cherished.

You could cut it diagonally in forths turn them all and reattach, cut it like you woud a disappearing 9 patch and turn 2 opposing corners, could you turn it into a twister quilt? Jan in Va has a really interesting idea with her cut idea and inserting maybe a contrasting or coordinating print.
You could quilt masculine motifs in blues on the white, sports balls and motifs, or cars and trucks, stuff like that.
