What’s with the hexagons?

Those little shapes in the photo at the top of the site are from a photo I took when I was making a quilt – the first I have done in many years. They are Deeply Symbolic – you have to join lots of small steps together to reach the coherent, organised whole. But I also just love sewing. And my sister (her blog is here) thinks I should blog about it, so this is a start.
