Large Hexagon Patchwork Quilt

I have been looking again at the Hexagon as a patchwork pattern. It can be divided into so many combinations of designs. The photo below is one I took in Delhi in India at one of the famous tombs which shows India's Islamic heritage. The wooden trellis is carved with star shapes and open patterns to make a continuous flowing design. This would inspire a seriously bold black and white Patchwork Quilt for a dramatic effect. The light coming through made pattern shadows on the floor.



Below is a design from my 1950s book. I like the way that the hexagon and star image create a 3D effect. Again great inspiration for quilts. Below is a picture of the entrance to St. James's Palace in London which I took last year. Look close at the star in the clock design. This could inspire a quilt on the theme of Time. The Tudor architecture is interesting the towers could be hexagons or octagons.

Our patchwork quilt here uses the star theme and a bold contrast of colours. See it at QUILT KRAZY
