My summer English paper piecing project - star within hexagon block - using Tanya Whelan's Dolce, matching solids and Kona white.
My first handmade zillij was quite inaccurate.
I did some search and found this tiling. A low-tech project, very easy to make, no craft-robo needed.
whilst i have been busy with a photographic 366 project, the lovely Cara has been making a 52 hexagons (one a week), she finished today, so the two projects collided.
This is a new dummy I did for the bridal expo at darling harbour. Hexagonal white iced with white lace details and sugar roses.

Now you can flip the blue hexagons right-side-out, so they fold underneath the quilt top and over the batting and backing.
I like to whipstitch my my binding/back-side hexagon (in blue) to the quilt top hexagons (in white) in two phases: (1) sew along all the blue & white hexagons with white thread, and (2) attach the blue hexagons to each other with blue thread. I place a blue hexagon on top of a front-side hexagon (white) with the right sides facing. And then use a whipstitch to attach the blue hexagon to the white hexagon. I pick up another blue hexagon, and do the same. In this way, you'll have a bunch of blue hexagons attached to the white hexagons, but then they won't be connected to each other. Then, I use some blue thread to whipstitch the touching blue edges together, making sure to reinforce the corners where the four hexagons meet.
Sometimes I have to take out a hexagon's paper and undo its basting to reshape it to fit its neighbor hexagon. If you're using hand-made hexagon templates, you might have to do the same!
It's important to notice that this process is slightly different from piecing a hexagon quilt as you want the blue hexagons to overlap exactly with the white hexagons on which they're placed.
Last night I was supposed to be quilting the last quilt but then the directions were posted early and I couldn't resist cutting into and sewing these lovelies.
Hexagon cushion in rainbow colours, badly represented here! It's not amazing, but hey - I've only just learnt to crochet.
The N-story tower in the photo is folded from a 2:N rectangle of paper.
Also a simple wine glass can be folded from a square sheet of paper by selecting appropriate creases from the crease pattern of the two-story tower.
It's too windy and rainy today to get outdoor glamour shots, but I spread the hexagon quilt out on the bed, and Bailey immediately jumped up to check it out.
This design is the hexagonal analogue of my Predictable Box. The layers of paper making up the thickness of the walls are directed to the outside of the box’s floor, making it possible to control the dimensions of the space inside the box in a predictable manner. Several variants can be derived from this box.
