Looking at them all together makes me think that I should have turned them into one big quilt...but I guess that idea will have to wait for the next one!

Here's a closer look at each of the quilts:

It's all raw edge applique, so you can see lots of little strings and raveled edges hanging down.  My quilting is very simple: Some messy lines.  And I used a facing for the binding so that the quilt appears to be borderless.

I really enjoyed making these quilts, but I'm also thinking I could get much the same effect -- with half the work -- by creating these kinds of faces in paper.  I've done some of that before...
