Bai Jia Bei

Just click on the picture below to see it bigger and see if you can find the square you sent.

In the northern part of China families traditionally make a Bai Jia Bei, or 100 Good Wishes Quilt to welcome and celebrate a new life. It is customary to invite friends and family to contribute a patch of cloth and a wish for the baby. Part of the patch of cloth is sewn into the quilt for the baby, and the other part of the cloth goes into a scrapbook with the wish for the child. The quilt contains the blessings from all the families and friends who contributed a piece of fabric. I absolutely love the sentiment behind this tradition and thought it was such a great way to have our friends and family be part of welcoming a new child into our family. So now 1 year later the quilt is finished and it is such a treasure. As you can see Taylor loves it!!
