This was made for the Suitcase Collection of the Contemporary Quilters Groups of the QGBI.  The theme was On The Road.For most of human history the easiest way to travel was by sea, as roads, where they existed, were often rutted and muddy.  The Romans, who actually could build land roads, even called one of their trade routes the Via Maris. Some travelled to a new life, some to trade or steal and later just to see the world.  The 2 vessels are Viking Dragon ships.
