This was my first time using solids as the main fabric in a project. I might be obsessed with solids now. I used my walking foot to echo the shapes of the hexagons (quilted 1/4 inside each hexie) and then straight line squares in the blue borders. Love this.

An old (2005) model of mine, which I still like.

I made this bag for a fundraising raffle (in support of a local nonprofit). The weather has been super cold and crappy lately, and I ran out of time to fuss over the pictures as I usually do. I didn't bother with my tripod, just used a high ISO and said 'good enough!'.
The dark grey fabric is wool or a wool blend. The plaids are from cotton shirts that I cut up. All of these fabrics are from thrift stores.
I hand pieced the hexagons using the English paper piecing method. Each side measures 1 inch. After I removed the paper, I machine quilted the hexagon panel onto a scrap of muslin. Then I trimmed it square and pieced the wool around it
I'm very proud of how it turned out! The plaids mesh really well and pop quite nicely against the grey.
A simple design, just compound of 6 triangle twists, in the same fashion as the Rhombus Mosaics previously uploaded.

Irena ask if anyone have seen this tesselltion before.

This is the first blanket I made. I started playing with the yarn, doing spirals, and I finished making a lot of this strange hexagons... It's not my favourite one, but I'm very fond of it!!!
Esta es la primera manta que hice. Empecé jugando con los hilos y haciendo espirales, y terminé haciendo un montón de hexágonos raros!!! No es que sea mi preferida... pero le tengo mucho cariño!!!
*Continued from the last photo* After resting for an hour or more I ate the lunch I packed and decided to do some land art at home where I've done most of my recent work. As I walked out the door I saw a piece of the bees nest I saw months ago. Then it hit me. I was going to recreate that pattern somehow. I went down to the ice and started collecting small rocks. I made a small hexagon to start but I wasn't happy with how sloppy it looked. I went back inside and made a template out of cardboard. Then it was easy to keep the hexagons nice and straight as well as keeping them all the same size. I'm quite pleased with how this turned out and how easy the template made it.
Easy way to make Hexagon.
But to make it precise you need some experience :)
It's really fast.
Have fun! :D
Back in the early 1960s, when local architect Neil Taylor, of Fisher, Hollingsworth & Partners designed Gainsborough's Guildhall for the (now defunct) Urban District Council, only high grade, modern materials were used. Construction utilised the most up-to-date practices for putting up concrete buildings, and the structure was clad in expensive Portland stone, Westmorland slate, and hand-finished facing bricks. No less care was taken with the immediate surroundings: trees were planted, there were elegant inverted cone-shaped planters (I know of two survivors), and, in the landscaped area in front of the building, these hexagonal concrete pavers. Commonplace enough nowadays, but back in 1965 when these were specified, they were a bespoke order. Its all in the detail, you see.
What now of this paragon of modern architectural thought? This paved area is nearly all that remains of the Guildhall "concourse". The building itself was demolished in October 2013, having stood empty for a couple of years, abandoned by the District Council that inherited the building from the Gainsborough UDC.

This is an up-close shot of a bicycle reflector. I think that the production of these things may be a little more complex than I realized.
The part of my mind with a scientific/mechanical-knowledge tells me that a reflector must be able to bounce light back towards its source in order to be reflective yet must also bounce light in various directions, too, making a simple mirror less effective in this task. I imagine that this arrangement of hexagons must scatter the light into a predictable dispersal pattern reflecting light out in a fan rather than just a beam.
Anyhow, taking a closer look at this really got me thinking about my subject and that's a good thing, right?!
