Hi,

You are missing one of the most important aspects of QGIS (and most GIS
software): The data is independent of the project.

The project > save action saves the project, which include what layers you
have loaded, what order you gave them, their styles, and so on.

When you edit vector layers, you need to use the save icon in the
digitising toolbar, the one next to pencil icon that you have probably
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.
At that moment it does seem to remind one about any unsaved layers.

However, if it crashes then any unsaved new layers, or unsaved changes to pre-existing layers, are lost.

The crucial step,as Alexandre says, is to save the changes in the layer by clicking on the floppy diskette icon next to the pencil... Alternatively, toggling the Pencil to turn of editing will also prompt you to save changes.
