Here are tops that I have made for my three grandsons. Not sure if I want to try to quilt myself (which would be a first) or have them quilted by someone who is experienced.

Here is the middle grandsons quilt. The back will be the same chocolate brown as the one inch border.

This is my new sewing room we are in the process of setting up. Believe me the dinning room floor is a mess.. :lol:

they're awesome!!!

i think you should quilt them yourself. you have to learn sooner or later and these tops are simple enough to learn on.

you could do a stitch in the ditch around the blocks.

buy a walking foot for your machine and save yourself hundreds of dollars and get a jump on a skill you'll have to learn anyway.

Here is the funny part. I have a long arm machine but I don't know how to use it. How ironic.....
