How to quilt this deer panel?
I bought this panel recently to make a wall hanging for my DS. I think it looks a little dull and needs to have a little sparkle added to it. I was thinking of just following the lines in the panel with some type of thread that had a little sheen to it, not metalic. Which or what type of thread should I buy? I will be quilting it on my DSM. I can only do meandering FMQ at this time. Any advice would be appreciated.
I know I can't do the wonderful things that Mary Katherine and Jillnjo do yet.[ATTACH=CONFIG]472974[/ATTACH]

I would use some embroidery thread like Isacord, Sulky or Glide. I think that you can probably get Sulky from Joann's on a small spool. I used some of Superior's Magnifico recently to quilt something - I was very happy with the way it looked, just gave a small shimmer. These also work really well for quilting on either DSM or LA

A friend had this same panel.She cut it and added sashings to make it appear as though you were looking through a window. It was stunning. She used a black fabric for the window.I would cut off the brown. Cut the picture 3 sq. across by 4 sq.down. Add the window then put the brown stripes back on with a black sq. at the corners.just an idea judy j

I would outline the deer (maybe put a little extra batting behind them like a fake trapunto), do your meandering stitch in the water to make it flowing (put some pop with a sparkly thread) and then draw (or trace a template made from a coloring book) leaves and put them where you think they will look good.
