I like the feather in the triangle.
The biggest thing to learn FMQ is to doodle. I carry a notebook most of the time. This morning in bed, I'm thinking about the moose I'm doing, and looking at the quilt on my wall for ideas...
there is a website I went to that was long arm quilter, there are so many ideas there..

they have classes, you can search anything... take a look.
and start doodling!

I am far from an expert, but here's my two-cents-worth.....
You have beautiful swirly lines in the border feathers and sashing....really love the sashing....so how about using straight (or straighter) lines in the triangles, as a contrast to the swirls? Either concentric triangles or just one line of echoing would depend on how tight you prefer the quilting.
Oops! I missed your photo at the top of the page....that's very pretty!
