100 Good wishes quilt

We "borrowed" these pictures from another blog so everyone could see a finished quilt. We are very excited about Ava's quilt and hope everyone participates. Andrea has volunteered to make the quilt with some help from her Mother in-law. We have already received some questions regarding the quilt so I figured I'd address them here:

1) Can we send more than one square? Yes: We need 100 squares but only sent out 78 letters. We can definitely use some extras. We would really love it if those of you with children would send a separate square from them. Our friend Angel is planning on cutting a piece of a blanket that her Son and Daughter had used when they we're born for their square.

2) What should we write for our wish? You can write anything you like! What would you wish for your own child's life? We are using lyrics from a song for our wish. Here is a small excerpt from it: "My wish for you is that this life becomes all that you want it to, your dreams stay big, your worries stay small, you never need to carry more than you can hold". It can be a prayer, poem or something that you write personally. It can be short or long! We will attach a piece of your fabric to your wish.

3) What kind of paper should my wish be written on? It can be on a note card, personal stationary, decorative paper or regular 8x11 paper. I also included a picture of some wish notes. Your wishes will be placed in a 12x12 album.

4) Can I pick any fabric that I like? Please pick anything that you like or something that you think is special. It can be new or something sentimental that you already have. Our friend Andrea has picked a sunflower pattern. She loves sunflowers so I always think of her when I see them. We would love it if you picked a fabric that reflects your personality, hobbies or interest's.

When I purchased fabric they would not cut it to 10 x10. Joanne's fabric will not cut into smaller pieces. If you let them know that you need a piece of fabric that can be cut into a 10x10 square we will cut it to size when we receive it.

If you have any questions please feel free to call!! If you would like to receive emails whenever our blog is updated send your email address on a separate piece of paper with your square and wish.
