It's a hexagon variation; not sure it has a name.

Looking at the photo, I want to mention that you may have difficulty with the borders. It appears there is a lot of excess fabric in both borders which results in rippling along the edges of the quilt. You might want to think about taking off the borders, measuring the quilt top through the middle, and re-attaching the border after it has been cut to fit the top. (It would have to be done twice; once for each border.)

I have seen an all hexagon quilt referred to as a honeycomb pattern. I would name it hexagon chevrons but you can name it whatever you want.

I would call it a ripple hexagon quilt.

Tartan's suggestions about the borders - might make your life easier when it comes to quilting it. I would also measure it through length, but the side borders don't look quite as "ruffly" as the top and bottom borders.

I saw the fabric kit a few years ago on Keepsake Quilting. Didn't find any quilt pattern listed in Blockbase. I would call it Hexagon Chevron. Hope you can get that excess fabric out of the border.

I LOVE it!!! I am on a hexie kick right now. Working on a GFG, but this just may have to be my next one. Lots of trips to Philly to see the Oncologist, Melanoma Specialist, Dermatologist and Surgeon, means lots of time waiting, so GFG is about half done in less than 6 months time!

Also looks like not quite enough room to spread the quilt top to walk around and straighten/ smooth out. May still to redo borders.

I googled bargello quilt made with hexagons and came up with this fun pinterest page. Although that particular one isn't on it, I'll post the link so you can get more ideas for your hexagons. I've got a scrappy blue one that I work on once or twice a year... it's going nowhere fast! http://www.pinterest.com/datsal52/hexagons/

Good catch, Prism, I was thinking the same thing.

Lovely quilt!
