3D's Adoption 100 Wishes Quilt

I have created this blog to document the collection of wishes we are collecting for our daughter Daphne's 100 Wish Quilt. What is a "100 Wish Quilt" you ask? Well... To welcome and celebrate a new life, a tradition exists in the northern part of China, to make a Bai Jia Bei (a.k.a. 100 Good Wishes Quilt). Friends and family contribute squares of cloth along with their wish for the baby. The quilt is said to contain the luck and energy from everyone who contributed a piece of fabric.

This is a super special wish. It is from one of my best friends, Jen, her hubby Andy and their darling daughters, Caitlin and Madison. Jen and I have been friends since the 8th grade. We have been through a lot and we are always there for each other. I am godmother to Caitlin and Jen used a pyjama that I gave Caitlin.
