I cannot freemotion to save my life so I only do stitch in the ditch and I stitched 1 /4" on both sides of the seam and it turned out very nice...I will post a photo later in the week as I'm not at home to do it.

Honchey, make a small sample up and meander it to practice before doing it on a quilt. Free motion to me is a lot easier than stitching in the ditch. I always get frustrated when I won't stitch exactly in the ditch and it takes me longer to quilt in the end. I'd give it a go with a small piece like a table runner or something like that and break out of the stitch in the ditch.
Quiltjoey, without seeing the jelly roll quilt you are talking about, I'd probably also do some swirly designs for quilting to soften all the straight lines

We always agoinize how to quilt the quilt!! Heard alex anderson say once...if the quilt is angular (jelly roll) she quilts w/curves and if the quilt is curvy (drunkards path) she does quilting with straight lines. Just a tought but NOT a solution...sorry.
