It is "shadow play", by Maywood studios a blender fabric. Ha ha ... I didn't notice the grain line before you just mentioned it. I would change the mouth, but, it would leave holes where the machine stitching was. I really didn't notice the French look until I took a pic of it. Up close it just looks like his little heart cheeks and a mouth. Honestly, he is very cute in person.

Red, I love your Gingerbread man just the way he is. I saw the design after I enlarged the photo a bit. He's great. I think my first set is going to be an applique Penguin. I found an adorable one on Pinterest. Goodness, I just love Pinterest. I have an adorable pattern for applique trees. And, then, I know I'm going to make several pieced sets. I just LOVE how they look mixed in.
I still have a ton of pieced blocks to make to pull my "Woman's favorite Things" Swap blocks into a finished quilt. But, I really look forward to it coming together.
I just have one other quilt to make for my grandson. Before he comes for a visit in November. I'm going to do a simple DP9. I'm looking for car and truck fabric to pull it together. Just need to find a few more prints and then I can get it into production. It's for his bed here when he visits. But, I told his mommy that he can trade in any quilt he's not crazy in love with for any I have here if he, or she wants to. That way, she doesn't get too flooded with quilts. And I can have something here for him to use. And, he'll have exactly what he wants.

Thank you so much Judith. I appreciate a vote for the positive on the little guy. I worked very hard on him.
Guess what I got the bells leaflet in the mail today. How fun is that. She must have taken it directly to the post office after I won the bid. It flew here in record time.
I thinkI will have to go and get some gold blender fabric for the blocks, but maybe not if I make them silver bells. I gotta think on that one, silver would be nice on a winter blue background.

Starry night
Hello
I just wanted to share one if my newest blocks it's fused I'm just waiting for some specialty threads I ordered to arrive so I can sew them down. It's hard to see but the stars are a wow so that's not the blue you see its the white stars. . I am also working on a winter tree scene I am liking but it's currently missing something so I don't want to show it off till I get that worked out.
