I quilted it myself on the Handiquilter Fusion that I can rent at my local quilt shop. I absolutely love to use the digital quilting patterns and have found so many that are perfect. I'm terrible at FMQ.

When Ryan picked his focus fabric, I thought it was so busy, I didn't want to use any of the baseball fabrics that I had accumulated, so I went with mostly solids and the blue with white stars on the border really matches the same in the focus fabric. I chose to use the solid red Kona on the back so it would show off the baseball theme quilting. Ryan is a very patriotic kid and always made drawings for me with the American Flag in it. So, the colors are perfect for him.

I love your Potato Chip quilt!
