Quincy Quilt (100 Good Wishes Quilt)

To welcome and celebrate a new life, there is a tradition in the northern part of China to make a Bai Jia Bei, or "100 Good Wishes Quilt."  It is a custom to invite 100 people to contribute a single square patch of cloth.  The 100 patches are sewn together into a quilt that contains the luck, energy, and good wishes from all the family and friends who contributed a piece of fabric.  The quilt is then passed down from generation to generation.   In addition to the traditional squares of fabric, we also had everyone write a wish for Quincy, which we scanned into the computer and Kittie printed on fabric to become part of the quilt.
 
Brian's mom, Kittie, took a big pile of mismatched fabric pieces donated by our friends and family, and a CD-ROM filled with wishes and turned them into a fabulous quilt that is SO BEAUTIFUL!!!

I tried to take some better pictures of the AMAZING quilt that you all helped me make, but the pictures just don't do it justice.  It is an amazing piece of art, and it makes me get all misty eyed every time I start looking at it. 
 
Thank you all for your help in creating this wonderful keepsake for our family. It means so much to us that you have been so supportive throughout this journey.  We couldn't have gotten this far without you all and we are eternally grateful.  I'm sure that Quincy will treasure the quilt and I can't wait to introduce him to all of the amazing people who helped to create it.
