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.

NUMBER 100 !!!

The 100th Wish for our Bai Jia Bei for Daphne is from Liam and Sherry-Lou Tunny of Regina Saskatchewan. Yeah...A fellow Canuck!!

You need 100 for the quilt and I still have some sqwishes to add so we are not stopping here! I still have a few swaps for sqwishes and there are others from family and friends I am waiting on (hint...hint!) Plus Dan and I want to add our own wishes so this quilt is probably going to have more then 100. The more the merrier I say!
