Our 100 Good Wishes quilt book provides six creative
patterns to showcase the 100 fabrics you collect from
family and friends in a 100 Good Wishes quilt swap.
We offer designs that are easy enough for the beginning
quilter and some challenging ones for the seasoned quilting
enthusiast, including:
- Welcome Home
- Hunka Hunka Chunks of Love
- Heartfelt Wishes
- Especially Four You
- High Hopes
- Turtle X-ing
An honored tradition from Asia, Bai Jia Bei–the hundred
family quilt-has become a favorite way for families
waiting to adopt from China to pass the time and welcome
their new babies to the family. “100 Good Wishes” offers
the opportunity for a circle of friends to use the art
of quilt-making to:
- Welcome a new child to the family
- Celebrate a long and successful marriage
- Comfort a friend battling an illness
- Commemorate a pastor’s anniversary
- Honor a student
- Mark the beginning of a marriage
- Remember one who has passed away
- Celebrate the joys of friendship
