Quilting feathers of the Red Grouse

I was thinking how to give the birds an adequate structure. And I thought of using the ripples of the quilting. Now I tried to make them look like feathers. This is meant to be a grouse, in German "Moorhuhn". I never knew it is called Red Grouse. The background is due next.
Piece by piece, the quilt is growing. Slowly.
