A quilt for my daughter

I just finished this quilt for my daughter.  I wanted to make it look modern...since she is 16...and so I designed one big block with a gray background.  That's modern...don't ya think?  The modern style of quilting nowadays seems to be just a lot of straight lines but I like a bit more variation than that, so I did what I usually do....my own thing.  I'm not sure if she will like it, but oh well...I like it.  Lol.

I used wool batting for added dimension and matched the thread color to the fabric except for the feathers.  I went with a light gray thread there so the feather design would stand out a bit.
