"Orange You Glad?" Table Topper

I used variegated handmade pre-felt...


                                     ...and a double layer of commercial pre-felt...



                                               ...to prepare this table topper.



                                            Wetting out the project (back side)...



                                                                 ...and front.



                                                    Mid-way through felting...

       ...color from the pre-felt squares begins to migrate through the orange pre-felt.



                                            The finished table topper (front)...



                                                               ...and back.


 
                                                  To make a decorative edge...



                                  ...I hand-stitched around the perimeter of the felt...

                                                   ...with embroidery floss.



                               Next time: I use more of these variegated pre-felt squares...

                                     ...to make a "windowpane" table topper!

That reminds me of some mosaic coasters I made when I was a child!
