Whie on vacation I started actually sewing some of the 300 hexies I created. Only 50 down and 1150 more to go. A work in progress, but i love making the hexies.

A little unusual ... most Dicot flowers are pentagonal. Monocots have trigonal of hexagonal symmetry but this not a Monocot.
This was from a pattern from Crochet Pattern Central but last time I checked there it was gone. Made about 5 years ago.
Paper: hexagon cutted from 20 cm, apricot coloured, painted with aquarell pencils in three colours
Grid: 32 triangles
Model: Spread Hexagons
Book: Origami Tessellations by Eric Gjerde, p. xx-xx
The finished tessellation. Taking a photo in the sun shows the bright colours, while taking only a little bit of the fading effect of the hexes. I'm contented with the result, hexes are easy to distinguish.
Photos on colouring the paper on my stream.
What one could do furthermore:
- change the colour of the hexagons, e.g. fading to a darker colour towards the edge.
- use three different colours for the hexagons such that hexes of all three colours meet at each vertex.
Well, the title in our catalogue more or less accurately described this one, but where was it? Thanks to the aptly named derangedlemur, we now know this was the Court House in Sligo Town.
The "pub" of the title is Taylor's Cabinet Makers, Upholsterers & Undertakers...
Thanks ccferrie for providing link to great article on Sligo Courthouse.
Date: February 1879-1883

Familiar to me even though not local to me, I presume from seeing their ad's in the back of motoring magazines.

I love this quilt! Made using Aneela's tutorial (comfortstitching.typepad.co.uk/comfortstitching/2009/05/f...) and inspired by this (www.handmadebyalissa.com/big-hexagons/) set-up.
Giant's Causeway, Antrim, Northern Ireland.
The Giant's Causeway, located in County Antrim, on the northeast coast of Northern Ireland, is an area of about 40,000 interlocking basalt columns, the result of an ancient volcanic eruption. The tops of the columns form stepping stones that lead from the cliff foot and disappear under the sea. Most of the columns are hexagonal, although there are also some with four, five, seven and eight sides. The tallest are about 12 metres high, and the solidified lava in the cliffs is 28 metres thick in places.

About 4 years ago I was handed a small bag of hexagons by a fellow quilter. I don't quite remember the story of where she got them- either they were donated to the thrift store that she volunteers at, or they were made by a friend who passed away and she was helping the family sort out her craft material. Either way, I have no idea who made them.
While I was touched that she thought of me, I was very dubious about these hexagons. I prefer to cut my own so that I can be sure of the fiber content, and so that I can prewash and colour test the fabric. The hexagons went into a drawer and stayed there until the Covid pandemic hit. It encouraged me to tackle some unfinished projects, and to use what I have.
I had it pieced and hand quilted months ago, but I didn't like that one of the hexagons was a bit puckered. A few weeks ago I decided that I did not love this project enough to requilt it, so I went ahead and put a binding on. Either it will be a mug rug, or it will sit under a vase.
I hope that this lady would be happy to know that her hexagons found a good home, and have been made into something useful.
Experimenting with a new folding style, essentially a hexagonal derivative of the 'tower module' Robin used recently. Folded from a regular hexagon of Elephant Hide paper.
I became a little obsessed with the Hexagon Pincushion pattern this weekend. For the first I used DK weight yarn and the results are more small pillow size than pincushion. For the second I used Perle Cotton embroidery floss. It's much more pincushion sized.
My very first Spoonflower order! Hexagons designed for my own quilt. Happy with the results. Very thankful the colors turned out accurate to my Photoshop file.
Grandma Star Hexagon Tutorial.

This granny sphere is still a work in progress
due to not begin able to stiffen it hard enough.
I have given it 5 heavy coats of Aquadhere and water mix and it still losses it's starch when it sits on anything or if it is touched too much...
What to do...
I can only think of coating it all with varnish but I think that would look tacky...
The above one still has the balloon in it and was before I started to paint it with the Aquadhere...
I think this is going to be one side of my hexie quilt. The other side will be predominantly black with little mixed hexies of colors.
Does anything jump out at you as "wrong" or "misplaced"? Or just ugly? I want to know now before I sew all these together, there's a boat-load of 'em! lol Eeek, I counted- 216 triangles on each side, back and front. OMG.

This isn't exactly a cp- there is no grid. These are the remaining creases. I suppose it could be used as a cp for anyone who might be interested.
