I don't think there's such a thing as too much feathering! LOL Check out some of Charismah's work...she does some beautiful things with feathers. There was a log cabin that she did that was laid out in similar fashion to your pattern.

or even this, feathers alternating with leafy vine

No suggestions except to second feathers. But great quilt you've got started!

I LOVE that pattern! Gotta make one!!! Yours is beautiful, and sorry, I don't do any of the fancy quilting, so I can't be much help with that.

It is a beautiful quilt and feathers would really enhance it!
