I Love this! Colorful, happy, unique, etc came to mind! Tks for sharing.

Since there are so many curves, most of the cuts are on the bias and that does not fray as bad, you do nothing with the edges. This is a wall quilt.

If you wanted to try this with a quilt that would be washed, I would leave more for a seam allowance and just let it fray. Rag quilts are popular, so why not?

It is done in raw edge reverse applique. I did the face with colored pencil. I was VERY unhappy with the way the silver in the moon came out, it looks like ironing board cover fabric. Worked out fine for my daughter though, since I gave it to her.

I did try this a little earlier, if I messed up somehow, please disreguard.

Beautiful! I love the face in the moon - you do lovely work. I have never done reverse applique - though I have watched people do it. Another item to put on my "I want to do" list.
