This comes from a Chinese tradition in which the family and friends of the expectant parent would gather pieces of fabric together to create a new quilt for the new baby. With each piece of fabric given, there is also a wish given so that the baby will know how much it is loved.
The fabric can be the choice of the giver, but it needs to be 100% cotton and washed before cutting (to eliminate shrinkage once it's in the quilt).
Hannah would love to have wishes from family and friends. These wishes also have a small piece of the fabric attached to them, so that she can identify which family gave her each piece.
If you would like to contribute to this project of love please do.
The square should be 8 in. X 8 in........... The wish can be whatever you choose. Some are blessings, prayers, scriptures, and others are poems or quotes. All are a gift of love!
Please see my links for some favorite quilting sites (as well as this site) and ideas.
Thanks,
Terri
