100 Good Wish Quilt- AKA Bai Jia Bei


There's a tradition in China of making a 100 Good Wishes Quilt. It's a custom to invite 100 people to contribute a square of cloth. The 100 squares are then sewn together into a quilt that contains the luck, energy, and good wishes from family and friends who contributed a piece of fabric. We invited over a hundred families to share in this special keepsake for our daughter. Can you find your square?


This quilt is a special way of showing Myah how much she was wanted before she came into our family. Every night she'll go to bed under a huge support system filled with love! Click on the picture for a closer view..


We are going to embroider in the middle of the quilt "to the world you are just one, but to us, YOU are the world", followed by her name Myah Mei Shpiruk and our Gotcha Date.


If you are interested in using my quilter, Carol, you can send her an email at graves@msn.com
