Welcome to the Quilting Board!
I can't give you one lick of advice about quilting it, but just to say it's beautiful!
Hello from Shenandoah Valley, VA. Quilting a few years. Love the process of creating the quilt top, but don't like making the sandwich of top, batting and backing as much. We have two Labrador Retrievers, a yellow and a chocolate. Blessings to all!
You could use white, Coats Glow in dark, or invisible thread, and straight stitch the six points of the flakes around the border and some small swirls like flurries (not compact) around flakes and deer in the border. Do the same for medium flakes and smaller stars on top and bottom with some swirls around deer. Outline inside and out of white border and deer(maybe do a couple wavy lines, or a quick something, inside (swirl, snowflake, pebbles) and you are done. If you get too creative inside the deer area, I think you might loose the snowflake effect. It is so cute the way it is. The whole quilt seems to twinkle!
They make glow in the dark thread?
Awesome!
Everyone as said what I was going to suggest. Just wanted to say what a lovely quilt.
Finished is better than a UFO
ditto on outlining the reindeer and doing something in the border... love the blue fabric and panel. very pretty!
attitude is everything...the rest will fall into place.
I would outline the deer and quilt a snowflake pattern in the background. It is going to be very pretty any way you quilt it.
That is a lovely quilt! I like the suggestion of crosshatching the panel after outlining the deer.
I love it! Of course I love anything blue, but this has a special pizzazz! If you can do it like the Olaf panel as suggested that would be beautiful. If it were me I'd never be able to quilt the snowflakes like she did but I love them. So I would just do a simple meander but I'm sure whatever you come up with will be great. Nice job!
Meander is my default too but in this case...to outline the deer and do a medium meander on the rest would be very perfect!

Looking for ideas for this sandwich!
Maybe mayo? Sorry, couldn't resist. Too much holiday cheer.
Seriously, your quilt is beautiful and I'm sure you will do a wonderful job on the quilting. I hope you're feeling better soon.
