Need help on how to quilt this
This is to be a gift for my son-in-law who is a big deer hunter. I'm stumped as how to quilt. My original idea was to do leaves in the background.
My next idea was to do a stipple, but I don't have a since of how large that should be, large like an over all quilt would be but skipping the applique? or small as in block by block.
Anyway, my brain is hurting and I've got another one just like it to do for my son. I'm hoping some of you might lend a hand. Or your brain, in this case.
Thanks in advance

This is such a cool looking quilt! Have you thought about echoing all around the deer? I would at least outline them and the leaves are a good idea too. I hope you will show it to us when you are done.

Thanks Mike's girl. I will
So far I've just quilted really close to the applique, so that it will pop out. But blocked about what next.

Stunning quilt! I only do edge to edge. so that's what I would do. But highlighting the deer through quilting does seem like a great idea. It'll be a terrific quilt no matter how you quilt it, and it will be loved.

Raw edge and fused
As for quilting, I've ditch-stitched each block and very closely quilted next to the applique.
