100 Good Wishes

We are creating a “Bai Jia Bei”, otherwise known as a “100 Good Wishes Quilt” for our baby girl we are adopting from China. In parts of China, when a baby is born, family and friends of the child donate fabric pieces to the child's mother. She then makes a quilt for the baby from the fabric. It is said that the luck, energy and good wishes from all of the families and friends who contributed, surround the child when she is wrapped in the quilt. The quilt is then passed down from generation to generation. This blog is really just a place for us to record the fabric and good wishes as they arrive for our daughter.
