Sunday sketch #418
When I first imagined this week’s sketch, I wasn’t expecting to like it as much as I do. I had an idea of how a single block would look, but I hadn’t really considered how it would interact with adjacent blocks. There’s so much movement and energy!

I use hexagons so rarely in my designs that it took me a while to find the last one… I think it was Sunday sketches #291 and #292, which I posted in January 2022 (!). Those designs, like this week’s sketch, don’t use the regular hexie that you’re probably most familiar with – the one with sides of equal length and angles that are equal too. That shape’s a bit difficult (for me, at least) to create in EQ8, so I always end up using a different six-sided shape that’s probably a bit wonkier but feels more interesting to me.

One of the simpler versions of last week’s sketch really appealed to me, but I wanted to try it with a diagonal (on-point) layout. That’s not possible in Excel (I don’t think!), so I moved across to Electric Quilt to develop the idea further.
