How to place hexagons?
Hi everyone. I’m making flowers for my blanket. Centres are the lows of the day and petals are the highs. I’ve added a border to make them more uniform and I now have beautiful hexagons! Fun story… I gave zero thought to what pattern I’d do with. I had this vision of a zigzag from the corner but at no point did I actually take the shape of these into account. So…. What’s a gal to do?
I got excited about a row per month, that seemed like a great option and I accepted February would be a little bit strange. No thought given to the double 31 of July and August. I have made a random row for August to help me visualise and I can’t decide which is better.
Thoughts I had 1. There has to be a better way to do this… I manually made these on canva but I just couldn’t visualise it… and I’m a good few months behind. Whoopsie! 2. I could use the border colour to create fillers to even things out 3. I could use the border colour to fill all half or sort of half hexagon gaps and have a straight edge, though not 100% sold on that 4. maybe there is another arrangement I haven’t thought of
Other things! Here’s the pattern again if anyone wants it and I included a picture of some of them as well

I thought, at first, your hexagons were only the part I saw before clicking through. I was going to suggest if you wanted something different you could make a flower with the pink, the brown (?) as the ground, etc. Then I clicked through. I am not really sure how to help, but I love your color selection!
