I would outline the stars and then shadow stitch within the stars. The rest of the quilt I would doing a wandering stitch. I took a class in long arm quilting and the best idea I got was to buy a piece of tempered glass and put tape around the edges. Use a felt tip marker and trace the feather pattern and then wipe it off. Do this over and over until you have the motions almost memorized and your hands are comfortable doing this pattern. It works with any pattern and it has helped me tremendously.
