Pumpkin Progressing

I'm back to work on Oliver's first Halloween bag. I drafted and cut out the shape of the pumpkin (and this is the actual color of it; in the other photos for some reason my camera makes it look yellow):

I then pinned it down to the black center block, and snipped around the edges for the applique process. I know a lot of quilters can manage 1/4" seams for applique, but I gave myself about 1/2" because I'm still a novice:

Turned and hand-sewed down the snipped edges:

Not perfect, of course, but I think it's pretty good for my third try at applique. I then drew on the face with a Sharpie to match one of the jack-o-lanterns from the pumpkin print fabric, and quilted the pumpkin lines with holographic Sulky in copper. Now I'm starting to fill in the features with black floss:

I think it's going to be cuter than I thought.
