These are really cool! I think I'd leave them flat, as wall hangings. A pillow might gently bend the shape.

I can see them as pillows, wall hanging, table runner, and as a center medallion on a quilt.

Another fabulous group of designs Geta! So glad to see you post again on the QB. I would love to see these in a quilt or wall hanging or a pillow, on a bag! The possibilities are endless.

I zig zag stitch over the edges, before making the quilt sandwich. Sometimes, on bigger pieces, I skip this step but I quilt over the pieces, as close to the edges as possible.

Perhaps I don't understand raw edge.

How about a pillow AND a wall hanging? These are beautiful designs. Did you design them yourself? I love raw edge applique. You have done an outstanding job!

I would make a wall hanging out of the larger one with the others as matching pillows. They are all so beautiful you will do well with whatever you do with them.

Geta love your patterns. I did my first one for my mini swap partner. Thank you for sharing your talent.
I would make wall hanging out of your new pattern.
