In between the eyes it looks like a nose with a mouth just under it. Then went to 2nd photo and saw a pig, so went back up to 1st and finally seen pig.LOL I'm old so guess my eyes are playing tricks on me. It is going to be darling. Keep it up. BTW it would help my poor old eyes with a curly tail.HeHeHE
Regardless, it does need a tail!

Your pigs are cute as can be. I wouldn't bother with the creases, but would add a curly tail and an eye as others have suggested.
If you turn the applique the way Yarn or Fabric suggests, then dampening the edges or lightly spraying with water helps them turn more evenly and neatly. (Press after to dry and smooth) Fusible applique works too of course.
Good luck!

I think the pigs are adorable. I've wanted to make a pig quilt for a long time as well. I owned a pot bellied pig at one time and she was special to me up until her passing so I am going to make a quilt in her honor. Anyway, the batiks are a great idea. They really bring out the shape. If you don't want to satin stitch around them you could always use a hand stitched blanket stitch as used in applique. OR, even easier, use permanent fabric markers to detail the piglets.
In any case, keep up the good work. It will turn out terrific.
