A Ring of Coffins - English Paper Piecing / EPP Template PDF with Bonus Occupied Coffin Paper Piecing Pattern

I originally designed this template for a swap I was doing, so I could combine my love of hexagons with my partners love of round piecing. I didn't even realize I had created coffins until I started fussy cutting all the fabrics!

The shape is obviously perfect for a halloween themed quilt, but I notice it's also great for long and narrow fussy cutting. something that is difficult to do with the common hexagon shape.

If you are not comfortable with English Paper Piecing / EPP, you could also just use these as templates for raw edge applique!

BONUS: Heidi Kenney of My Paper Crane / www.mypapercrane.com, came up with a brilliant machine paper pieced pattern to add little windows to the coffins for the 18" size! The PDF is included as an add on.
