100 GOOD WISHES Adoption Baby Quilt + 100 tiny swatches

In making it, I learned that inthe northern part of China it is traditional to make new babies a special quilt to welcome the new life. It is called a Bai Jia Bei, or100 Good Wishes Quilt. The custom is to invite friends and familyto contribute a piece of cloth and a good wish or blessing for the baby. A quiltis made by using a patch of each fabric and a small piece of the samecloth is put into a scrapbook along with the blessing from each person. Modern day, people still love this tradition and would like to continueto share this special tradition with their own babies.

He has spent the past 12 years of his life swimming at a very competitive level. He has swum thousands of miles during endless practices and meets spanning 14 states! Christopher joined his 1st swim team at age 5 and has been swimming competitively ever since. When he was 5 they would 'write his name in' on the swim meet heat sheets, because you had to be 6 to join a swim team and compete. Most teams wouldn’t let him join as he was too young. Fast forward to 2012/2013, Christopher swam at the: USA Junior National meets in Indianapolis and at the University of Tennessee and Speedo Grand Prix in Missouri. He not only swims but also keeps up his grades. Christopher’s Memory Quilt, shown above, with 40 of his swim shirts representing his 12 year competitive swim journey!

I had no clue what this was so I looked it up online and found out. My Journey to Quilting. November 2011 This story may be a smidgen long so you might want to grab your cup of tea and get cozy.

My Journey to Quilting

Back in January 2006 we were just starting on our journey to adopt a baby girl from China. Once we learned that we were logged into their waiting list on April 3, 2006 I joined the April 06 online group of other waiting parents-to-be. There I learned about the Northern China tradition of creating a "Bai-Jia-Bei" otherwise known as a "100 Good Wishes Quilt" to welcome and celebrate a new life into the family. One hundred family and friends donate a piece of fabric along with a written wish for the baby-to-be. So although I new absolutely nothing about scrapbooking or quilting, nor did I have any desire at the time to actually make the quilt myself, I loved the symbolic meaning of this tradition and I joined in on the fabric and wish (squish) swaps happening amongst the group's members. Well as is typical with me, once an idea pops into my head, I ponder it non stop day and night.
