Hexagon Quilt
This is the second time I've seen a video of this technique and this explanation is so clear! It does use more fabric than English paper piecing (EPP) but you end up with a double sided hexagon so don't have to source fabric for the backing.
I'm doing EPP at the moment but I have a hole punch to make the papers and just use leaflets and junk mail, so it doesn't feel wasteful. I don't think it's difficult either- in the video she mentions it's not for beginners, but I don't have that much experience with hand sewing or EPP and I've been finding it pretty easy so YMMV
I saw this video yesterday and was seized with the need to try it out immediately. Lookit my cute lil' hexagon baby!!
Here is what the backside looks like. OP notes this takes more fabric than paper piecing, but that excess fabric makes it already triple-layered. Besides not needing backing fabric, I don't think you'd need batting for this quilt at all. It's already thick and soft just from folding all that fabric into a hexagon.
Hexagon quilt tutorial video by tiktok user camelscrafts. Method:
Each hexagon begins as a 6" circle. camelscrafts does this by creating a paper template using a compass. According to the video, a 6" circle will create a hexagon that is 2.5 inches tall.
These hexagons are hand-sewn. Thread the needle.
With the fabric right side facing, find the center of the circle by folding it in half right sides together, then folding it in half again (wrong sides are facing). The top of the triangle shape is the center of the fabric circle.
Make a small stitch into the center of the fabric. The wrong side is still facing.
Unfold the circle. There will be a small stitch in the center.
Now the hexagon is created by folding the circle into itself: With wrong side facing, take the needle to one of the edges of the fabric (it doesn't matter which one). Pull the needle through and pull the thread tight. This will fold down the fabric and create an edge of the hexagon. Crease the fold with your finger.
This fold has two corners, one at the top and one at the bottom. Put the needle into one of the corners and pull the thread taut. This will create another fold.
Continue this going around the circle until all of it is folded down, creating the hexagon. camelscrafts notes that the last corner pulled in may be a little bit "wonky" (no precise point in the corner) if the corners were not done precisely. However, that corner is pulled into the back, so is not visible from the front.
The hexagon is now formed. Sew around the folds in the middle of the circle to hold the folds in place. Tie off and cut the thread.
Attach hexagons to each other along the sides. With right sides together, whip stitch the sides together.
Finally bought some dye and have been having so much fun with optical color mixing. I decided to start with cmyk primaries to get some vibrant color options.
So far I've only mixed up the main batch of colors, but I'll split them up and create a palatte of tints and shades once I have access to a scale again.
I don't have any fancy tools and have been blending the fiber by hand, so it's probably best I have a forced break for the sake of my fingers. Once I'm done I should have a very useful set of 57 2g swatches to play with! (Plus 5 more for a set of grayscale swatches)
If I'm still up for it, I might repeat the whole thing with my classic red, yellow, blue primary dye set. For a truly massive set of heather swatches.
I'll create a comprehensive guide to all the color mixes and my process once I'm done, but in the meantime here's a mixing guide for the colors I've already done!
The ratios are presented in the same order as the wool swatches in the photo above it. I didn't simplify any of the ratios so you'll have to deal with 2:2s instead of 1:1s, oops.
For anyone curious, I used brilliant yellow, deep magenta, and caribbean blue from Dharma dyes on their corriedale wool for my base colors.

Happy pride to black trans people in particular I know it can be tough out here with how often the image of what and who counts as always seems to never consider us

The drama the leather community is having over Honey Davenport (a black, queer, nonbinary artist who was on RPDR) winning International Mr. Leather just goes to show that being kinky is not a panacea to being bigoted. Being gay doesn't absolve you of racism. If the LEATHER community (famously tied to the gay rights movement of the 60s-90s) has enough of a right wing contingent to raise a stink about this, then your own local community almost certainly has problems, too. You need to get louder about your support for black trans people. Make sure your space is uncomfortable for bigots. Because if you don't, they will find their way in.

are you guys gonna wrap it up with the dog motif anytime soon
literally man's best friend but whatever. i guess you do sexual roleplay as some kind of tender-leaved houseplant?
you know full well that my sexual roleplays are geological in nature
to the trans girl who came out to the cashier at a greenhouse in New Mexico, I wish I could tell you that I think about you often and hope you’re doing okay. I wish I could tell you that I thought you’re so incredibly brave for doing that, and that meeting you made me braver. I wish I had thought fast enough to give you my information so you could reach out to me if you need anything. I wish I had told you that transitioning is the best decision I’ve ever made, no matter how hard it can be. I hope we meet again someday.
Important note from a (future) nurse: if you are chronically ill, on a lot of medications, even managing conditions on your own, buy a drug guide. Davis's Drug Guide is what they had us buy for nursing school, and I've looked up every single medication I take in it. It helps you understand what the drug is doing to you, helps you understand side effects, reasons why you shouldn't take a medication, things to monitor for while you're taking a medication. It's not perfect by any means, but the thing I've found is that it's helped me guide conversations with providers, nurses, pharmacists, it's helped me figure out what questions to ask. When I've heard people talk about what they didnt know about their meds, what they wish they knew about their meds, it's often in a drug guide.
Out of everything I've learned in nursing school, it is the biggest thing I'd advocate for having in any home, period.

“Present Lasts Only a Moment”
Our life is only a few decades long, and so often we spend it waiting. We wait for tomorrow, for next month, for better times, for new circumstances, or for some perfect moment. But while we keep waiting, the present quietly passes by — and in reality, life is made of these present moments.
I think it’s very important sometimes to stop and look around: at the people beside us, at ordinary moments, at evening light, conversations, children’s laughter, walks, and hugs. Even during difficult periods of life, there is always something real and beautiful to hold onto. That’s why I try to appreciate what I have today instead of only waiting for some perfect “later.”
Wishing you a peaceful Sunday with the people you love 🤍
