Beautiful fabrics and heartfelt wishes slowly trickled in over the next 4+ years. We now have the most gorgeous quilt for Grace! Each piece is so special and makes us smile! There are so many pieces that remind us of the people who gave them! We even have a piece of satin that came from my mother's baptism gown that was originally fabric from my grandfather's air force parachute!!! There is also a piece that was hand stitched by Grace's Great Grandmother Wunderly!! Grace will always treasure this and can pass it down for generations to come!
We were blessed with 2 healthy, beautiful sons. But someone was missing! We traveled to Moscow, Russia to bring home our baby girl and complete our family!

Grace's 100 Good Wishes Quilt
Back in March of 2007, when we started the adoption process with China, we decided we wanted to make a 100 Good Wishes Quilt for our new daughter. We eventually switched to Russia, but we still loved the idea of having a quilt made from fabric that would come from family and friends along with a "good wish".

Love it! I saw your blog list the other day and it reminded me about the quilt - so glad to see you have it finished and that Grace loves it so much.
