.To welcome and celebrate a new life, there is a tradition in the northern part of China to make a Bai Jia Bei, or 100 Good Wishes Quilt. It is a custom to invite 100 people to contribute a single square patch of cloth. The 100 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. The quilt is then passed down from generation to generation.
These are my quilt squares and wishes that I sent for my November DTC 100 Good Wishes fabric swap. ( My group decided to send 2 fabric squares along with our wishes ). If anyone would like to send me a wish and fabric square for Abby's quilt please e-mail me for the details!

Jenny -
Honest there are at least 5-10 squares coming from "up north". Wendy just got back from Fla, Bama is still looking through material swatches, Ali picked out some material, but isn't thrilled with the choice she made (college town does not have a lot of choices), Uncle Terry has his material, just needs to get it together (wish and MAIL it) and I keep looking for that perfect swatch of material. Aunt Laurie I know is looking. If you get more than 100, maybe you could have a doll size quilt made???
Love, Debbie
