It didn't take long to whipstitch them all together and then appliqué them down to a background. For the quilting I traced around some pot lids and decided to quilt in the areas where the circles overlap.
Some seriously cute prints here. That puppy in the teacup and the VW van? Oh my goodness!
The backing is an Aneela Hoey print from my stash, and the striped bias binding finishes the rounded corners nicely.
I toyed with the idea of doing more quilting in the circles but I thought it might become more about the quilting than the hexies.
Anyway, it is what it is ...........and that is finished.

I love the entire composition. I have a few hexies that I wanted to place on a solid background and now I will. Thanks for sharing.
I want to find a bag of hexies already basted! :) Striped bias binding is the BEST and I love the Aneela Hoey print.
I adore this quilt it is sooo cute
Pretty. I love the quilting and the rounded corners.
Love the hexies, love the rounded corners, love the striped binding- love it all!
That is such a cute quilt. And I love the idea of a small patch for the 'I Spy' part, I like the idea of I spys but have never been keen on them all over.
Wonderful I Spy quilt. I love the simplicity of it. And I love how you quilted it.
Too cute, Carla. The quilting is perfect.
Very cute!! I love the way you rounded the corners. The amount of quilting is just right as I noticed the hexis right away.
And what's wrong with making about the quilting? Lol. Looking good.
I love all the elements, the quilting, binding, backing and of course those I Spy hexies. Well done!
Carla - what a wonderful way to use hexies - each little print looks so sweet isolated in its own hexagon! The whole quilt is so delicate and beautiful! Loving every detail!
It is so beautiful!!! Love the quilting and the rounded corners and the little hexies. It is a super sweet quilt.
Sweet, sweet, sweet! Those little hexis are just too cute. And this whole cloth backing was the perfect way to show them off. Love the quilting you chose to do, Carla. This is precious!
This is quite lovely! I love the round corners, and the hexies, the quilting...so pretty!
Any hexi quilt should get a huge hooray when it is finished! I love the way you seemed to fussy cut some of the fabrics and I also love the quilting.
OMGosh! I so love this hexie idea and the quilting is so wonderful!
This is a great finish, Carla! Who doesn't love hexagons, and the way you quilted it is very creative. Gotta love a handy kitchen full of round things!
I think the circles and the hexies are perfectly balanced. Looks fantastic!
Love this and the way it is quilted
OK, that is the cutest baby quilt ever! Love what you did with the hexies and the overlapping quilting is fabulous! Just awesome!
So gorgeous! You were quite inventive in your quilting and I love the result. Simple but very pretty! I like it as it is, with not much quilting. In fact, each quilted zone are little places of interest. I pinned it in my Quilting Board as a source of inspiration. :-)
With that puppy print on the back it is really reversible. So many cute prints!
So cute!!! Great idea for the quilting!
Cute idea,the hexies are so perfect!
Came over from Billie's blog. That is such a cute baby quilt. I invite you to link it to Hexie Weekend, ends Monday, midnight. It's so adorable.
Beautiful quilt and what a neat idea!
Just amazing!!! Love everything about this quilt!!! Cute i-spy prints....made into hexies...the pink background...sweet backing fabric...and the quilting!!!! Great idea to use the circles for outlines and then filling them in.
It's lovely!
Now I have died and gone to heaven!! Bellisimo!!
too cute! I have some of that VW fabric. It is one of my favorites.

This is so beautiful. Love your quilting as well, the perfect complement.
This is gorgeous!
I love all those little pictures, especially the VW van. I have seen that fabric in other quilts before, but I've never found the fabric. Would love to find it someday. It's probably long gone by now!
