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.
