Now, with all my experience with textiles, using hexagons would be a whole different ballgame! Last summer I did purchase a plastic template for cutting out hexagons but so far, all I've done is put it with the other rulers and templates. I have been considering doing some hand embroidery on linen hexagons and using them in a table topper or try out some coasters or mug rugs. I'm still thinking about my project.
Anyway, here are a few links to get you better acquainted with hexagons:

Yes, they do seem to be everywhere. In fact... I've been working on the pattern for a hexie turtle stuffed toy for a few weeks now. I'm calling her Lexie the Hexie Turtle.
