While waiting for more wooly color for the other hexagon play, I started this set in cotton--perfect timing as it was HOT in the valley today!
I usually have a few long-term projects on the go (projects that end up taking me multiple years), so I wanted to make a 'quick' project. Someone gave me the striped navy blue fabric and I didn't know what to do with it. This winter I realized that it would make a great bag, and the blue would go so well with red, pink and orange. All but one these hexagon fabrics is Kaffe Fasset.
I handstitched the hexagons over the course of a month or two. For the bag I followed a tutorial called Simple Lined Tote by Felicity Quilts, on the 'OCD: Obsessive Crafting Disorder' blog. I changed the dimensions a bit (like making the straps longer). I will probably make a few other adjustments if I make another bag. The gussets at the bottom were new to me. Not sure I would do it that way again.
I hand appliqued the heart to the bag, then used red thread to essentially quilt each separate hexagon.
One of the best parts is that I only used my stash (including the thread) and scraps to make it.
A special commission from the Centre for Chinese Contemporary Art. An amazing paper cut framed in a hexagonal frame and held between two pieces of glass to create a shadow on the wall its hung against. Very happy with how this one turned out.

I love all the coloured middle bits I just didn't like the squares.
So I am using them and of course all the yarn that I am undoing from the squares.
So it will be the same as the granny one just hexagon shaped.
I am going to make it a bit bigger than my last hex blanket.
Material : hexagon of colored kraft paper.
Variation on dice tessellation created by Ralf Konrad.
No new creases added to the dice model, I had just to pop up the little stars embedded into the design.
Result is like Owesen stars (sorry, Fredrik, no credit for you here) : these little stars are also part of Konrad's work, see here
Some other photos of dice tessellation and pyramid of stars here on my website.
I made this hexagon back in October during my month of illness while watching "Pet Sematary". I got a chuckle over the sweetness of this block with the playful kittens frolicking in comparison to the cat in the movie who was all undead and stuff....
The center hex was fussy cut from a vintage dresser scarf I found at the thrift store.
Charm pack from my lovely friend Lisa. Thank you Lisa! Perfect project to do at my in-laws place. I do love orange.
I found a couple more photos I never posted of the afghan "in progress". Whenever the cooler weather finally gets here, I need to work on weaving in all the remaining loose ends, and then I should take a few more photos of the whole thing... (With decent lighting, for a change!)

On a nine hour drive home from South Carolina you can finish hand stitching the binding on an entire quilt AND work on making little Hexagons! Read more about it on my blog www.insidethepaperbox.blogspot.com
There was one section on this block that needed something more - hexagons! These silk ones are 1/2" on a side and the two tiny lace ones are only 1/4" per side - end up looking more like a circle when I stitched them. I'll have to try some with cotton fabric to see if they will hold their shape better
Backsides of each hexagon with freezer paper attached. No basting it to the fabric required and it peels right out later!
These are going to go on the front of a pillowcase for a floor-cushion
for the kids. If I ever talk about paper-piecing again, please remind
me, that I don't enjoy it! At all :D
My rendition of an unfinished quilt in the Chicago Art Museum, by an unknown quilter. I changed the middle and added a border. It is made with 3/4 inch hexagons and completely hand pieced using Inklingo. It was long arm quilted by The Quilters Attic in TN.
Made by Kathy Timmons
Started in 2015 and finished in 2016. Quilted in 2017 after I moved to Mexico
Slowly putting the flowers together, one a night in front of the tv. I'll leave the final layout of the flowers until they are all done though. I'm liking the black center, and am thinking of using a grey as a border, hexagons and half hexagons to square it up, sorta!
