I like seeing your block so large...it turned out great! Congrats on your baby on the way. Please show us more blocks.

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

It is adorable and congratulations!

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.

Are there any decorative stitches on your machine to use for the eye? Looks great. What are the rest of the blocks. Keep us up to date on the rest of the blocks.

That really is cute. Can't wait to see the whole quilt when it is done.

So cute and please keep us posted on your progress of the quilt.

He looks great. Have you considered just a quick hand embroidered eye for him?

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.

That is a great looking squirrel!!! I love it.
