Square Dancing on a Mood Swing

Ok so it's been a while since I last posted here, excuses? I have lots, but none that add up to much except that I have just been too busy to quilt my own quilt tops let alone play with my Circle Lord (remember the CL was a purchase that I made for my own quilts, and not for my customers). Now that it is summer and business has slowed down a bit, my MIL is finally moved in and settled, I am trying to get some of my quilt tops quilted and what better way to do them, than with my CL big templates. 

This quilt pattern is called Mood Swings made using a Bali Pop. It will be hanging on my dining room wall once I bind it. 

I quilted it using the CL Square Dancing big template and the thread I used
was Superior Lava color #248

I just love this template, it was so easy to use!

I was afraid to use it on this quilt because I usually use curvy quilting designs on quilts that are are so geometric, to help soften all the sharp angles. 
But as you can see from these pics that the sharp angles from the design template really works well with this strong geometric quilt pattern. I guess you never really know until you try it out.

This was so quick, easy, and fun to do. So I am offering it to all of customers at a discount if they sign up as a follower to one or both of my blogs. The discount is only good until Nov. 18, 2011. If your interested call me for details.
