You could certainly do orange peel in the colorful portion of the chevron. It will add texture and if you do a straight line pattern in the white portion, the curves will be a nice contrast. In the HST patches, I do the normal horizontal and vertical arcs, then do an arc on the diagonal. I love orange peel because it's easy to do an unbroken path. I hate starting and stopping.
An additional thought, I often continue the orange peel into the sashing or borders. It adds a scalloped effect. You could do the same thing by extending the orange peel into the white. Shoot. Now I want to make this quilt!!!
