Looks like a great candidate for feathers. Nice work on the piecing.

It is so pretty. I do not do good work in a class or when I am trying something for the first time. I would do a muslin with the star drawn on and then quilt this gorgeous top when I how learned how to form the feathers.

Carpenter's Stars are great for feathers. I did one in "Feathers and Ferns" for my DDIL for Christmas and loved the way it turned out! I did some practice blocks, just like Deb said above, before I actually started on the quilt though...
