Hello Friends, my “In & Out” quilt is featured in the Spring 2013 of Quilter’s World‘s Special Interest Publication “QUILT & EASY QUILTS”! See that little insert on the top left corner of the cover — yeap, that’s my “In & Out”!
The interweaving effect is achieved by using the cross block colored in two different ways. Pretty cool, eh?
I used Riley Blake‘s Avignon fabric collection to make “In & Out”.
You may recall, I had used the fabrics from the same collection to make “Not too Square” that is featured in The Quilter’s December 2012/January 2013 issue.
Now, back to “In & Out” in different poses…

Quilting was done mainly on the negative space to highlight the printed fabrics. I find that feathers make great “fillers”. The quilting was done using Aurifil‘s Mako 50 Cotton threads over Hobbs Tuscany Silk batting. The white square area you see is about 2″ x 2″ in size – the image is out of focus a little as I am still getting used my camera settings.
I think the design itself is quite versatile, and I can see the quilt different color schemes. What would be your color palette of choice for this quilt?
Thanks for stopping by. Hope to be back to chat with you again tomorrow.

Beautiful quilts, you do amazing work!
Truly beautiful!! Such a great way to showcase the feathers,
It’s always hard for me to imagine making something different after seeing how beautiful your interpretation is, but I can see doing this in some pretty 1930’s reproductions. Gorgeous, as alway!
What stunning quilts!!! You did fantastic work on them, too. I’m not sure what color or fabric I would use. After seeing yours; I find it hard to picture it in something different…lol. But I do love a deep blue with white and maybe a soft yellow….ohhh it’s just beautiful in any color.
How very nice this one is, Wendy!
Love this quilt, Wendy!
Wow, you have been busy Wendy. What a lineup!
They are all beautiful, but that In and Out will certainly sell many copies of the Spring issue of Quilter’s World! Yumm.

Love this one!
I especially *love* your “In and Out” quilt. The Riley Blake fabric is incredible.
Feathers are the absolute epitome of fillers and yours are “the bomb”!!! I saw that issue at B&N last Sunday and spotted that quilt. I really am trying to cut back on mag purchases (I have already “blown” my shopping resolution!! LOL! Watch for my blog post tomorrow!!!!!) and your “over-the-top” publication schedule is killing me!!!!! Do you sleep…..ever???? I may have to consult Miss Baby!!! Blessings, D
Wendy, I love the basketweave design, and the quilting on the squares quilt is gorgeous. How did I miss that one? I need to practice some of those feathery fills. But first, I’ll have to get over my new machine jitters, thread her up, and actually START SEWING! I’m planning a mini quilt to replace my cardboard carpool tag. It’s just our last name in block letters so the school knows which kids I’m picking up. But I’m going to make a quilty one with appliquéd letter, then practice quilting around the lettering and maybe experiment to see whether that dual feed thingy helps with sewing on the binding? It should be a good getting-comfortable-with-the-new-machine project, and then I will have the fanciest carpool tag in the whole school… :-)
Wow…feathers in a 2″ square. Very impressive. I love your designs. You are so talented. Hugs
And I thought I was busy. I don’t know how you accomplish sew much. Love “In and Out.” Think that I would like yummy florals in pinks and greens.
Wendy — wow!! In and Out is very pretty — the colors are perfect and I love the lattice effect — not to mention the quilting!! Congratulations on all of your published patterns and quilts !
Thanks for continuing to inspire!
Karen
Love it!
That is a nice design — something like a trellis or lattice design.
Adorable in its simplicity!
Ellen
Simply beautiful
