For my project I designed and stitched a simple 16" table mat that features a Halloween icon; Ghosts!
I constructed it using a similar method to English Paper Piecing. Coffin shapes were stitched together in pairs, and to one-another as I went. I only used two colors of wool felt, black and white and the white coffins feature ghost faces. Then I added a circle pair in the center.
I didn't photograph the back, but it looks the same as the front, minus the ghost faces.
