Bunny and Monster

I made this bunny as an experiment with wool felt. I had never made anything with wool felt before and decided a little bunny would be perfect. It wasn't until after I completed him that I discovered that there is a right side and a wrong side to wool felt. Guess which is on the outside of this bunny?? Sigh. He's all fuzzed out because he is inside out. I don't know how long he'll last. I thought that he also didn't look quite like a bunny should look. He kind of looked more like a monster. So, I made a monster next:
This little monster is made with orange and red scraps, which I quilted onto some cotton batting. You can't really tell, but I quilted a whole bunch of free-motion "M"s as the quilting design. M is for monster, and all that. I really like the way he came out, and I like the feel of the batting on a stuffed toy. I think I shall call him Mel. Mel the Monster.You can kind of see the orange fabric behind his eyes. I wonder if that means I should choose a thicker or more busy fabric for his eyes. Or, if it means I should cut out the fabric behind the eyes so there is only batting behind them. Or both. Or maybe it's scary for a monster to have see-through eyes!!??
