We are so excited!
We just received our very first square for our 100 wishes quilt! Actually I should say "squares" as they sent us two identical ones in case we do get twins! We want to send out a great big thanks to Donna and Jim Aho. The fabric is so bright and cheerful and we love how you tied your wish in to the fabric pattern. Thank you sooooooo much!!!!!

100 Wishes Quilt
There is a tradition in China to make a "Bai Jia Bei" or "100 Good Wishes Quilt." This may sound crazy as I have never made a quilt in my life, but I would love to work on this project while we are waiting for our baby/babies. The tradition is that 100 people contribute a square patch of cloth. The patches are sewn together into a quilt that contains the luck, energy, and good wishes from all the families and friends who contributed a piece of fabric. A good luck wish is also included which will be put into a scrapbook. We would love to have our friends and family help create such a special quilt for our new baby.
To sum it up here's what we would need from you:
1 8x8 piece of cotton fabric
1 additional matching piece of material any size to go in a "wish scrapbook" along with a "wish note" - basically whatever wish or prayer you have for our child to have in their lifetime.
*** any advice on how to make a quilt!!!! I'm just learning how to sew, so advice is definitely needed!!!
