Beautiful quilt, I love it, you did a great job on it. I wouldn't do a whole lot of quilting on it, don't want to take away from the thunderbird. Just my opion.

I think some feathering on the bird would be nice.

I'd create feathers on the bird by quilting it diagonally on the wings and tail, with maybe a cross hatch on the body.

Beautiful quilt! You'll have fun fmq it. The easiest way I was taught was to STD in a few grids following seams. Then you can remove pins and FMQ in the sections.
