Baby Cloutier's 100 Wishes Quilt: SQUARE #6

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!!!
