I think your design looks good so far. I hope you have tried the red marker before and it will come out. :-/. Just remember whole cloth quilts are quilted very densely. I am looking forward to seeing your post when you have finished quilting it.
Edit: I forgot to ask.....are you using two layers of batting to give the unquilted areas (feathers) “poof”? A wool batting on the top layer works so well to do this.

TBH ... I don't think you need idea/suggestions! You are pretty incredible with them, on your own.
Another weekend's project?

This is what they did in the pinterest pic you linked and you can see how much it emphasizes the overall design. Looking forward to following your progress on this.

I've been using crayola kids washable markers (thanks Ube!), and they have been awesome!
I hadn't thought of using two layers of batting, I'll give it a test run and see what I think - thanks for the suggestion.
