Adoption Quilts


These quilts have special meaning to the families who have collected each square of fabric. They have been given each unique piece of fabric which has a special meaning from friends, family, and others who are adopting. This is a tradition. It is called a "good wishes quilt". I really enjoy making these because of the special meaning. I am given a pile of fabric. I then cut each into a perfect square, lay them out in the pattern I choose, then sew them together. The family then receives a finished quit to take with them to China as they adopt their new addition to the family.

This one has sashing in between the squares


Binding and corners


No Sashing, just squares
