What is a 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 friends and family to contribute a patch of cloth with a wish for the baby. Part of the patch of cloth goes into the quilt for the baby, and the other part of the cloth can go into a creative memory notebook with the wish for the child. The quilt contains the luck, energy, and good wishes from all the families and friends who contributed a piece of fabric. The quilt is then passed down from generation to generation.

We found out about 100 wishes quilts through friends who adopted a daughter from China. It is a tradition to greet the new baby with a 100 Good Wishes Quilt. Although this is a Chinese tradition, it is a great tradition for any child to be welcomed this way. What a treat to read the good wishes when the child is older to know how much they were wanted!

Click here to see sample designs that would work well for a 100 Good Wishes Quilt. We have some new designs available! And click here to see pictures of my trip to China!

You can either collect your own 100 Good Wishes fabrics from family and friends. If interested, I have a letter you can modify with your information to send out to your friends/family asking to participate in the project. Or you can participate in fabric swaps to get fabrics and wishes from others adopting from China. Click here to visit other website which tells more about 100 Good Wishes Quilts. If you are interested in joining a group of other adoptive parents of China wishing to swap fabrics and wishes, click on the following link to join the Yahoo group.

Why are Ladybugs significant?

Ladybugs are a sign of good luck in the Chinese adoption community. It is said that if you see ladybugs that good things will happen soon! Because of this, many people like to include fabrics with ladybugs in their 100 Good Wishes Quilts. Original Quilts has a fabric website called www.bugfabric.com where you can shop for ladybug fabrics.

"An invisible red thread connects those who are destined to meet, 
regardless of time, place, or circumstance. 
The thread may stretch or tangle, but will never break."    
--An ancient Chinese belief 

I can make a quilt like any you see here, or if you have another idea in mind, 
I am happy to make it for you.

This "pinwheel" quilt, and the next two down were all done for the same client. My client did an awesome job at picking out the fabrics for the background, pinwheels, borders, backs, and binding. 

This quilt has little flowers in the border fabric, as well as on the back fabric. We went with that theme, and quilted flowers throughout the quilt. This quilt measures 66" x 80".

My client also wrote a poem which was embroidered on the back of the quilt. 

Completed September 2002.

100 Good Wishes Quilt for Isabella (Pinwheel)
This is the first quilt that was made of the above three for this client. The top photo is the completed quilt. The second photo shows the quilting up close - we went with the theme in the fabric of the stars, and quilted them throughout. This quilt measures 66" x 80".

The third photo shows a poem my client wrote that I embroidered and included on the back of the quilt as a label.

This quilt was completed July 2002.

Note: In August my client heard the most horrible news that her adoption of Isabella would not be going through.  My client asked me what I could do to Isabella's quilt so that it wouldn't be a reminder about this horrible news. She wrote a new poem, and I used ladybug buttons to button this new poem over the other poem. This solution kept the original quilt in tact, but also added another dimension. They say that quilts always tell a story, and this quilt has quite a story to tell. The additional poem was added September 2002.

Lydia's 100 Good Wishes Quilt (Pinwheel)
This is Lydia's 100 Good Wishes Quilt using the pinwheel pattern.

Quilt Pricing (100 Good Wishes)

All quilts are different, we can take ideas from quilts you see here on this site, or other quilts you may have seen. The quilts are priced using a formula based on the difficulty of the piecing (design), the finished size, and the type of quilting. This is a general guideline of pricing for your interest. Once we discuss the scope of your project, then we will agree on a price for completion. 

All of these prices are based on the client supplying the fabric for the quilt (front, back, borders, and binding). If the client wishes to have Original Quilts purchase fabric or embellishments, those additional costs will be added to the final invoice.

All money is quoted in United States dollars. Client pays all shipping costs. The prices are for labor only. The client needs to add in the cost for any additional fabrics and batting to complete the quilt.

bullet Pinwheel Quilts: vary based on the number of pinwheel blocks you have in the quilt and the overall finished size of the quilt. As a reference if you use 100 of the Good Wishes fabrics (5 fabrics in each pinwheel - four 5" blocks on the corners and one smaller block in the center) and you have 20 pinwheels, the price is $500 for labor only. You need to select the fabric for the back, binding, borders, the background of the quilt, and the color in the pinwheel. Original Quilts can procure those fabrics for you at a cost plus 25% fee. This quilt measures approx 66" x 80" which is a very large lap quilt - or would be great at the foot of a bed.
bullet Sashing Quilts:  We can design the sashing quilts either square (10 across and 10 down) or we can design it to be a twin size. If 100 blocks are used, the price is $400 for labor only.  You'll need to select the fabric for the back of the quilt, the binding, and the sashing and borders for the quilt. Original Quilts can procure those fabrics for you at a cost plus 25% fee.
bullet Other quilt patterns can be done, however they will need to be priced depending on the difficulty of the pattern and the size of the quilt. 

If there are left over fabrics from the 100 wishes fabrics, we can also make quilted covers for the notebook you keep the wishes in (personalized with the baby's name on it). Notebook covers start at $50. Or we can also make smaller baby blanks with leftover fabrics - priced according to size.
