You are missing one of the most important aspects of QGIS (and
most GIS
<br>
software): The data is independent of the project.
<br>
<br>
The project > save action saves the project, which include
what layers you
<br>
have loaded, what order you gave them, their styles, and so on.
<br>
<br>
When you edit vector layers, you need to use the save icon in
the
<br>
digitising toolbar, the one next to pencil icon that you have
probably
<br>
clicked to start editing. This is done layer by layer.

The only time I have seen QGIS prompt the user to save an edited
but not yet saved layer is when you Quit.
<br>
At that moment it does seem to remind one about any unsaved
layers.
<br>
<br>
However, if it crashes then any unsaved new layers, or unsaved
changes to pre-existing layers, are lost.
<br>
<br>
The crucial step,as Alexandre says, is to save the changes in the
layer by <font size="4" color="#ff8040"><b>clicking on the floppy
diskette icon</b></font> next to the pencil...
<br>
Alternatively, toggling the Pencil to turn of editing will also
prompt you to save changes.
