Story behind the quilt

One Heart = Wish

In celebration of new life, when a baby is born in some parts of China, family and friends donate to the child's mother fabric scraps from old clothing accompanied by a heartfelt wish for the baby, from which a Bai Jia Bei, or "100 Good Wishes Quilt" is then made. It is said that the luck, energy and good wishes from all of the families and friends who contributed fabric surround the child when he is wrapped in the quilt. The quilt is then passed down from generation to generation as an heirloom, forever generating warmth and love.

Of course if we get more- awesome- the cutoff date will be May 1st so I can attach them all before his 1st birthday which is such a miracle and blessing in itself...
