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.

Due to COVID19, and whatever is going on with the USPS, shipping is down to once a week and there may be delays in route.

I apologize for this, but this shop is run by one person, Jessee, who has several autoimmune diseases and is high risk when it comes to the virus. This means places like the post office are off limits.

For most of 2020 Jessee wad driving to a post office 30 minutes away that has an outdoor package drop off and is a major depot in the area. That way the packages bypass our local small town post office and go straight to a sorting center.

However from now until sometime in the new year, most items were taken out of the shop. There is just too much going on with the USPS and the Holidays. We will fully reopen once things calm down.

Print on Demand items have been left in the shop. Jessee designs these and another company prints and ships them. Each item may take up to 8 weeks to ship right now, and we can not control when. So please be patient with us!

Send us all the good vibes and Happy Holidays!
