When I first started quilting, I was told that the quilting should be the same density all over the quilt.
Your sashing is quilted more than the blocks. I would add some stippling to the background of the blocks, and maybe more quilting on the motifs as well.
As for feathers, there are several different techniques out there. Do some research on the internet. Trace by hand to teach muscle memory before trying to quilt them. Practice on plain muslin sandwich. Draw it out and try to follow the lines. I can't free motion quilt without lines to follow myself.

I think the quilt looks lovely, and you have done a good job quilting it.

Looking good! I think I would do some SITD to lay the stars flat and then maybe a little more stippling or straight line outline quilting to even out the stitch density. I'm working on a super king right now and took a break quilting while I await some additional inspiration for the last couple of borders. I decided to go ahead and bind it and then do the final finishing touches. I've spray basted and already done all the SITD, so I'm not worried about shifting. Wishing you luck and inspiration : )

I think I would flatten the stars somewhat with additional quilting as they look like they aren't attached. Did you use a high-loft batting? That's all I would change as you did a nice job on the sashings.

I think you are doing just fine... I will gladly send you some quilt tops to practise on! I have some throw sizes... anyone that would offer to do that for me, I would love it... Remember Quilts were not made to be perfect... My Aunt always told me that.......... I love it.
