I couldn't get a photo that did justice to the quilt, in all its intricate details, but this one is decent.
Day 69
Priscilla’s gift to me
June 3rd, 2010
I'm walking across America.
That's the idea, at least. I'm walking westward from New York City for nine months or so. If everything goes according to plan, I'll be in Oregon when the clock runs out. If nothing goes according to plan, maybe I'll end up in Peru or Mongolia or Pennsylvania. You can read all about the details of my trip if you're so inclined.

Oh wow, that’s really beautiful! The way the clouds blend into the trees blend into the ferns is just lovely.
What are the dimensions?
Wow! Positively exquisite!
WOW THATS SOME QUILT.
Wow!!! How talented is she!? That is just beautiful!!!
WOW!! Quite an art quilt. This one should win many prizes!
thats a really cool quilt. very artistic
This is beautiful! More like wall art haha
WOW! At first I thought it was a painting! Awesome! What a gift!
How beautiful it must have taken alot of time
That’s fantastic! It’s almost in the ‘watercolor’ style of quilting. I’ve tried quilting….it sho ain’t easy!!
Just magnificent.
That is by far the most amazing quilt I’ve ever seen! Incredible. Does Priscilla have a website? or Etsy?
very nice
that is an awesome quilt!! very beautiful…
Now that is one beautiful gift. And I know you will cherish if for life. A very nice reminder of your quest.
WOW! That is awesome.
Beautiful AND hand-made. A very generous gift!!
OMG, that is so beautiful. It caused me to make my first comment. I have made a few quilts but she is incredibly talented.
beautiful work!!!
amazing!!!! she has real talent.
That has got to be one of the prettiest, most imaginative, beautiful works of artistry in a quilt I’ve seen. And I’d know, my mom has quilted since my first baby quilt and ever since. Thankfully, olive green is passe now. LOL She does alot of elaborate work too.
I’ll be forwarding this to her – I know she’ll adore it too. EXCELLENT WORK PRISCILLA !!!
Beautiful quilt and very nice gift…Just think, All the planning, imagination and effort that went into making this. AWESOME!
Wow that’s an awesome quilt, if Priscilla needs a grandson, let me know!!!
So beautiful!
This is priceless!
man !!!….Is that One sweet ass Quilt !!!!
It’s sad that you don’t have room to collect more keep sakes from your journey. I understand that you will forever have the memories, but I like keep sakes because they jog your memories from time to time, and they are great conversational pieces…
Bravo Priscilla!!!
Fabulous! Great work Priscilla!
I am just going to continue the “WOW” !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Looks as if it should be hanging in a museum. True artistry.
I didn’t even know that was possible!! Just used to seeing square patchwork quilts. You’ve got yourself one expensive gift! Does she have a website? Or do you have a contact number for her? I’d love to place an order! :)
This woman knows quilts. She told me the story of your journey. All I can say is there are no coincidences–only grace. Good luck on your quest.
Oh, I’m so happy you put a picture of her quilt up! I love the way she made all the layers of the river. It’s got the sandy bottom and cobblestones, and her choice of fabric even shows various currents! I love, love, love this quilt, and how appropriate for your journey!
WOW!!!
It’s called watercolor quilting. Pieces of fabric are used to create the illusion of a painting. My husband and I bought one near Shipshewana, land of the Amish, several years ago that hangs in our living room.
BTW – If you were to purchase this beautiful work of art, you would probably pay a few hundred dollars for it. This is an amazing gift, Matt, and one I’m sure you’ll cherish always as a reminder of your journey.
I have to continue the WOW, she is amazing, puts my puny skill to shame…and I agree with Barb V, that is priceless!
