Here's a simple red hexagonal grid that has spacers inserted between the hexagons. Each spacer is composed of a pair of pink pentagons that does not effect the hexagons orientation since the connecting edges are parallel. I hope to receive some complaints about the colours :) If not, perhaps I'll litter this blog with pinks and reds! I find this approach to making patterns fun because it is difficult to predict the shape of the hole between the spacers.
