There is a tradition in the northern part of China to make a 100 Good Wishes Quilt (Bai Jia Bei). A QUILT OF WISHES is a story about a tiny orphan in China who is waiting for her parents to arrive to bring her home. Her mother worries that she could be cold and alone. She decided to make a quilt for the tiny baby and sends it to her while they have to wait for the adoption papers to be completed.

This quilt takes on a new meaning when it arrives in China. In addition to keeping the baby warm, it also represents the love from her heritage melding with that of the love from her forever family.
