I just finished this queen sized quilt for clients who adopted their daughter from China. This is a custom in Northern China--to make a Bai Jia Bei, a Hundred Good Wishes Quilt. 100 people sent pieces of fabric along with good wishes which will be put into a scrapbook to accompany this quilt. Actually, 96 people sent fabric and I made the corner squares with the Chinese characters for Good Luck, Happiness, Longevity and Prosperity. What a beautiful tradition! I was honored to make this for her.
