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.
