A patchwork design built by piecing together regular fabric hexagons, resembling a bee's honeycomb. The shapes are typically joined using English paper piecing, where fabric is basted around paper templates before being whip-stitched together by hand. The geometry allows for complex optical illusions and rosette patterns without setting in seams.
