I volunteered to make the Coach's gift for my sons Tball team.

Attached is my "sketch" of the design, a wall hanging. The white squares will be the kids hand-prints name and #. The red squares will be the same as the uniforms (Dbacks) and the gray squares will be a baseball print. The larger center square is yet to be designed but will be some kind of thank you to the coaches (husband and wife) and maybe the team logo.

My question for you all is how would you quilt it with out going over the kids hands. the only thing I am thinking is stitch in the ditch around the white squares and a "X" design on the 4 patch?

any other ideas????.... I don't have a long arm and there is no budget to send it out so I need something simple.
