I made a queen sized quilt and used glow in the dark thread to quilt it. I used some free style quilting and it turned out very nice. When the lights go out it really glows. I woke up every hour just to see it glow. I took a picture but it doesn't show up, I guess because of the flash. I got the thread at Joann's fabric store and it cost $5.99 for 100 yds.

It's very beautiful.
To film the GID. You have to take a long exposure. You have to have the camera on a tripod, no flash and leave the shudder open for like 20 seconds so it absorbs all the light. Also helps to "charge" the quilt right before you hit the take picture button. I used a black light.
That's how I filmed the ones I did. And this is how they actually look in the dark.
