I agree w/ dungeon quiilter and you do have to pay attention to what is recommended by the batting co. and what type of batting you use. Look on the package to see how far apart the quilting should be. You don't want the batting to buch up inside the quilt when laundered.
You are on the right track. Good job so far. See how much more quilitng you have to do before it is finished. You don't want an angry customer.

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.
