Based on Eric Gjerde's tiled hexagon model, see his instructions
Here, hexagons are not regular and each pair of twisted triangles is sunken to create a point on the other side of the sheet
From a hexagon of embossed glassine, from a chocolate box.
Grid 1/56
Pattern is my old Roma church floor n°2, which I never folded a good rendition of.
Instructions in Eric's famous book
I designed and created this hexagon quilt for a class that I will be teaching at Quilter's Way in Acton, MA. I used the Hex N More ruler to make the hexagons.

From hexagons, the blue is upside-down.
A rip-off from her pyramid container, used as base and folded from hexagon instead of triangle, so I have more paper to shape the cup.
Thanks Christine for this excellent and inspirational model.
This plastic webbing was put down in the "parking lots" on the Isle of Harris, presumably to add some strength to the bog. It took me awhile to figure out what happened at the black spot.
Got a few Rosewood Crochet Hooks and Knitting Needles...as well as some Red Heart Wool in some gorgeous colors. I am excited to give it a try. Here is first of many hexagons...it may be a blanket, shawl, sweater, or bag. Time will tell...
It's Tuesday -- so here's another texture for your Photoshopping fun (makes a decent wallpaper, too). This one's from the mailroom on the Battleship Texas, moored near Houston.

What's a lemonade coaster? It's like a regular coaster, but bigger for a pitcher of cold lemonade, dripping with lovely condensation!
this patchwork pillow features various lavander fabric hexagons, which then were quilted into a pillow!

7 more hexagons made...it may be a blanket, shawl, sweater, or bag. Time will tell...
I've finished stitching together the hexagons on Thursday (9th May). This afternoon I spent some time steam pressing the seams (I don't use steam when I press blocks, just a hot iron - I think it's too easy to accidentally distort bias seams when using steam) and then had great pleasure in folding it rather than heaping it on the settee (flic.kr/p/e8CitR), which is how it's been for the past couple of months!

The winter hexagon isn't as well known as the summer triangle, but it's much more interesting. First of all, it's huge. About 60 degrees across, it straddles the winter Milky Way and includes the constellations Orion, Taurus, Auriga, Gemini, Canis Minor, Monoceros, and Canis Major.
"Milky Way" has different meanings. It originally was the name of the thin cloudy-looking band through the night sky. When scientists discovered galaxies, they started using Milky Way as the name for our whole galaxy. When I'm outside at night and people and they ask me to point out the Milky Way, I sometimes say "Look up. Every star you see is in the Milky Way." Of course they don't want the smart aleck answer, they want to know where to look to see something of the structure of the Milky Way.
The winter hexagon is just that. Our Sun is toward the inside edge of one of the Milky Way's spiral arms. In the summer (ah, northern hemisphere summer, by the way) The night sky faces in, and across a vast gulf of emptiness, we see the next arm in, the Sagitarius Arm. It's so far away that the stars are hard to resolve and blur together to visually form that thin cloud that was originally named "Milky Way." In the winter, the night sky faces right into our local arm, the Orion Arm. Here we see lots of our neighboring stars up close. Practically right in front of our faces, the Winter Hexagon is big splash of bright stars.
Another thing I like about the Winter Hexagon is that it is easily seen from cities. The sky really has to be pretty dark to see the thin cloudy Milky Way. Find these bright stars though, and brag to your friends that you can see the Milky Way from your backyard.
