I'm here to beg! We are up to 37 pieces for Grace's 100 Good Wishes Quilt. I love each and every piece we have received so far and cannot wait to see it all come together. My goal is to have the quilt made for Grace's 2nd birthday in April. We received some of our fabric pieces almost 3 years ago and I'm sure those people would love to see the finished quilt. I know many of you have already given, but this is my last stitch effort to hopefully get at least 50 pieces. If you are interested, read the directions below and click on "100 Good Wishes Quilt" on the sidebar to see the squares we have already gotten. If you know someone that may be interested in participating, please pass on..... Thanks so much!!!!
It has become an adoption tradition in the U.S. to create a "100 Good Wishes Quilt" for your adopted daughter. The tradition started in China where family and friends would give 2 swatches of fabric to the new baby. One to be used in a quilt and one to go in a memory book along with a "good wish" for the baby. Adoptive parents have started making these special quilts as a way to create some history for a child that may not have any known family background. This quilt may then be passed down for generations to come. We would love to make one for Grace. Here is what to do if you would like to contribute to her quilt:
1. Pick out a fabric that you like or has special meaning to you and cut out two 8" squares.
2. On a small piece of paper, write a "good wish" for Grace. Make sure to include your name on the wish.
3. Send it to us to be a part of her 100 Good Wishes Quilt!!!
