My son said , "they need eyes Mom". What is the vote .....eyes or no eyes?[ATTACH=CONFIG]552582[/ATTACH]

Maybe some with eyes and others with "sleepy eyes"....the little smiley mouth.

I vote "Eyes"----cute !

Definitely "Eyes" (also like NoraB's suggestion)

I like the eyes, too. Maybe have a left one looking right and a right one looking left, like they are scoping each other out

Same thing for the "Up" and "Down" sheep. Could be cute!

The eyes are cute but that many eyeballs is a bit overwhelming, IMO. I'd do the asleep eyes that NoraB suggested.

Yes, eyes definitely.....if you are going to do the sleepy eyes then I would just put a line of stitching and some eye lashes. Cute!!!!

I also like the idea of them looking differently at each other....like the Brady Bunch!

Speaking from experience, the eyes seem like an adorable idea until the quilt gets used/washed a few times and the eyes are peeling off the background. Those tiny pieces of felt don't stay stuck very well. You can stitch around the white part no problem, but with the black you're either stuck with doing a crisscross pattern or a French knot or such & the edges will start to come unfused & peel up. If anything, I would just do embroidered pupils (either satin stitch or 3-4 French knots in a group).

I think they look fine without eyes, but if you are doing eyes, I agree with the others to make them silly. Maybe cut some in half with a slight curve & have the upper half match the "sheep skin" as an eyelid (eyelashes optional but recommended). Are you going to embroider a nose & mouth as well?
