My nephew picked out the baseball fabric and I added the rest. It is quilted in a baseball pantogram with bats, baseballs, gloves and stars.

That's a great quilt. I just posted our use of your focus fabric in a (much simpler) basebal quilt for our nephew. I love the quilting on this one too. Did you do it or send it to a LAQ?

Hi DottyMo!

Handiquilter makes short and long arm quilting machines and the Fusion is a 24" long arm machine. It has the PRO STITCHER on it which takes computer (digital) files, and stitches them onto the quilt. I used a Pantograph (Panto) design, which means it is an all over design, that runs edge to edge and is repeated in rows, rather than individual block and sashing designs.

Here is a link to Handiquilter:

and here is a link to digital files that can be used on the Handiquilter versions that have the ProStitcher:

I hope that clears it up for you. Please let me know if I can answer any questions.

I don't own the machine, I rent the one at my Local Quilt Shop.

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!
