So adorable! You did an awesome job on the satin stitch. I would use a fabric marker for his eye. I love to applique but unless you are really good at it, I think it is hard to applique the really small pieces like an eye & get it to look like you want it to. I have done it but mine look better with the fabric markers. That's just me! lol Congratulations on your new arrival in Sept. Such an exciting time in ones life. Keep us posted. We love to see every ones projects. One block or a whole quilt. It is just in our blood! lol

Re: eye -If you use the acrylic paint - use the end of a small paintbrush (not the brush end), shake the bottle and dip your tool in the cap of the paint bottle - not the paint bottle itself. There should be enough paint on the cap (from shaking it) to do the job. This gives you control of how much paint you pick up. One dip and dab should do the trick. Try it on scrap fabric first to get the feel of it.

Congrats on your upcoming big event. Your quilt block is beautiful. Imagine what a treasure the quilt will be 30 years from now when he or she pulls it out and gifts it to your grand child.
I would probably hand embroider that eye on.
