Inspired by Bloggers

I am hand sewing binding and am inspired by Barbara of Cat Patches/Three Cats Ranch to show a picture of the finished corner(s).  One corner down.  It’s slow going as I used a thin bamboo batting and I have to be careful none of my stitches go through to the top.  I think I need to change to a smaller needle to help with this issue.


I was reading Wanda’s post this morning, and she said she didn’t want to turn on her iron so she started a new project.  It made me laugh because the other day I didn’t want to sew the Quadrangle blocks together so I started the cheddar project 😂.  I’m inspired to call this phenomenon the Wanda effect.  Wanda is inspiring and one could spend days reading her past blog posts.

You’ll see I have started sewing the blocks into panels so it won’t be long before this is a flimsy.


Heading out today on the Country Roads shop hop with a friend. We did all the shops last year and my friend won one of the prize baskets.  I’m guessing there will be some stash enhancements to report 😁

 Happy Quilting, Cherie

  1. Your corner looks great! I like your idea that switching between to another project is now guilt free by calling it the Wanda Effect! LOL!! Have a fun road trip! I pulled up the map and you and your friend will be putting some miles in today! I saw the one shop is in Maryland! It will be good to have help navigating those back roads. I can't wait to see what you buy!

  2. LOL. I am quite familiar with the Wanda Effect. I have followed her for years and continue to be inspired by her posts. Enjoy your time with your friend and the shop hop.

Popping in real quick to share Quadrangle is a completed top!  It is 49 1/2” x 70”. Glad to get it off the design wall so my other projects ...
