While they are technically not quilt squares- they are textile art nonetheless. And, do have a bit of stitching on them, some batting and fabric on both sides.
I call them prayer squares as they can be hung on the wall and be a visual reminder to pray for the JJ's while on their mission journey. The photo of Jocelyn & Jessica (the JJ's as they are affectionately known) and the iconography is Russian and Christian symbols, hearts for the Harts (the host family), crosses, St Basil's cathedral (and it's lovely onion domes), matroyshka dolls and a Russian postmark.

I've got several more made and a couple more to be stitched this next week. BTW-- Mae heartily endorsed them and said that they were very nicely done. She finally understood my desire to integrate modern technique with less traditional methods to create something and I never meant to infer that she was lessening the process of mine (or other's) quilting projects.
