Crystal Cove Caravan

Last Updated on July 11, 2017 by Connie 186 Comments

I worked with the Crystal Cove collection of batiks and designed this fun bargello wall hanging that has appliqued cars and trailers.

All week long there has been a great blog hop going on called Planes, Trains & Automobiles featuring Island Batik Ambassadors and Island Batik’s new collections. CaravanQuiltEach day a different collection is shown and today I will share Crystal Cove which is available in stores now. This is a beautiful collection!

When I first heard what the theme was for the blog hop I was really stumped as to what I wanted to make. Sometimes……I just like to let the fabrics decide for me. Here is the bundle I received, lots of beautiful fabrics.

Crystal Cove collection from Island Batik

I started laying the fabrics out and here is what I decided to use for my quilt. All of a sudden I could see grass and a skyline. I cut strips and then sewed them together.

Once I had them all pieced I cut them into different size strips for a bargello effect. Unfortunately I got excited and forgot to take pictures. Guess that means I’ll be making another one!

When I had the background done I had an idea of cars and campers going on a trip so I went searching for the perfect little cars for my applique at Vecteezy.com where I am a premium member. I thought silhouettes in black would be perfect and I free motion appliqued them.

For the road I just stitched a couple lines in black. The first line I stitch free hand and then realized my lines would look a lot better if I put my regular foot one and the feed dogs up. Much better.

The finished size is 24 x 32.

    Oh darn! I missed the giveaway! That's ok though because I rarely win anyway. lol I do want to say that I love your little campers being pulled over your colorful Bargello hills. We are going to be pulling our RV over some very rainy and windy hills the next two days as we make our way to our new retirement town of Florence, Oregon. Our home is sold here in CA and we are off to start a new chapter of retirement in a new town and a new state. Looking at a house on Monday if the storm lets us get there. Love, love, love the house we picked out. There is a bonus room above the garage. If the owners accept our offer guess what that means to me? Yep, a sewing studio!!!! A VERY long awaited studio. We are so very excited!!! I can see that you must be enjoyinsdkkol.

    Your caravan quilt is so cute and the background is perfect for the design, I love it. Island Batiks are some of my very favorites. That is the brand my local quilt shop carries so I have many beauties from their past lines and I will be looking forward to adding some of their new ones to my stash.

    Thanks for sharing your thought process with us. I always find that so interesting. And I'm crazy about silhouette quilts. When I was a little girl, my grandmother had little pictures that had old-fashioned silhouettes painted on the inside of the glass, with the backgrounds painted on the back of the frame. Do you remember those? I loved those little pictures, which she hung over the bath tub. They are among my most vivid memories of her old farm house, and I'm always on the look-out for something similar when I'm at antique stores. Just now it occurred to me that I might be able to quilt something a bit like that! Thanks for the inspiration.

    Love your quilt. Maybe because it reminded me of all the trips we have taken over our 53 years of marriage pulling our camper behind. We have had some great adventures. Your quilt made me smile. Nancy A: [email protected]

    You are so innovative Connie and I love your ideas, especially this latest creation. My fabrics aren't as talented as yours and don't always speak as loudly as yours' do to you, even though I pull them from my stash, lay them out on the table, re-arrange them, and look at them for days at a time. Seriously though, it was the perfect design for those particular fabrics and the addition of cars and trailers wending their way across the landscape, awesome. [email protected]

    When I first saw your blog post and saw the quilt, I thought the way it was curved it was a sewing machine cover. ;-> Then I went back and looked agin and read the blog post. The quilt is very nice it looks as though there are buildings in the background and the caravan is floating through. So creative, what size is the quilt? Happy Thursday, thanks for the peek.
