While I was piecing this, I was thinking about how I might quilt it and I thought of mimicking the circles on one of the prints. Then I remembered my daughter had this movie reel on the wall of her bedroom. Bingo!
I traced around the circle with a frixion pen and got to work
How fun is that! Super easy to quilt too using my walking foot
I LOVE it !
These fabrics are coming soon to Katja's Quilt Shoppe. I think I may be making another one. What a perfect size quilt for a baby gift.

This is fabulous, great choice of fabrics
Fun post Carla!!! Thanks for sharing the quilt pattern link and a preview of the new fabric. Love that you used the film roll as a guide for marking the quilting lines. My son has one of those too....must remember that for future reference ;-))
Stunning! Quilting is gorgeous.
Adorable quilt and how clever of you to use the film reel as a quilting pattern.
Coolest quilting ever! I love seeing where your inspiration is drawn from.
I love everything about this quilt! It is so fresh looking!
Excellent work - love the last photo :)
Aw Carla, you are so clever! How inspired! You are one talented lady!
Carla!! I love this!! A couple of my friends made this pattern... but the film reel quilting paired with the fabric is PERFECTION.
Gorgeous finish!

It lools awesome! I'm not a charm pack lover butI do have some squares leftover from yardage that I'm now itching to dig out. ..
I really like the quilting you did.
Gorgeous Carla and the movie reel quilting was a stroke of genius! I have to ask though: are you ever worried about using frixon pen on your quilt tops in case over time the ink reappears?
I love your choice of fabrics and you did such a nice job on that great pattern.
This is a great version of the Charm box pattern, Carla. The fabric has me drooling as well.
Mmmm.....there's that word "baby" again!! ;)) Gorgeous quilt, such fun fabrics and quilting. Love the photo with the movie reel!!
Love this. At first glance, this quilt made me think of tickets and ticket stubs. How perfect to use the movie reel as a stencil to quilt it!
I love it! Great idea for the quilting pattern!
What a great quilt and so easy to do, love the idea of the quilting. Sure does give me plans for those charm packs and other hidden materials! Good job!
So clever!
Now that is one cool quilt Carla... I enjoy your blog.
Great quilt and your quilting is inspired!
Great choice of fabrics for this quilt. It is a perfect design to showcase a fabric range.
Love the idea of the circles for the quilting.
It's so adorable!

LUV me some Zen Chic. Fun design and reel-y great kwilting design!
Ooooh I'm pinning this one. It's quite brilliant from start to finish.
As usual, I want one :)
Great quilting idea for this cute quilt, Carla.
Fabulous quilt! Zen Chic is always a favourite. So inspired to use the movie reel to quilt it, brilliant!

Easy looking pattern and great fabric choice. Love the quilting - great idea.
Amazing fabric choices, great photos, and fun quilt all around!
Adorable! What a fun project! Love, love, love the quilting!
I saw the tutorial for this quilt and was tempted to stop everything and make one also. I might have to break my rule for the year and start something new this week. I love the fabric you used and the way you quilted it is just perfect.
I am a librarian who tossed out most of those old reels to discover that people are collecting them like crazy. This is the most innovative use I've seen for them! How ingenious of you. The quilt is so pretty. I love those bright colors!
Fantastic design and finish!

New to quilting, do you have pattern to follow? Very nice! Nancy
