100 Good Wishes Quilt Blog

It's an icky, rainy Sunday in Ohio. I've decided to chuck any kind of work and start a blog for our newest daughter's 100 Good Wishes Quilt. I have joined three quilt swaps and the squares and wishes are pouring in. This blog will be devoted to showing everyone all the "squishes" that we receive. It should be great fun. I now have to learn how to scan the squares and the wishes, so this could be a bit challenging at first.

New Swap with a New Quilt Group

The only way around this is if you organize the swap and specifically state that religious references can be made. So, there has been another Quilt Group started that allows the freedom to use any type of wish you choose including bible verses. The group is small, but I'm sure it will grow. The following squishes are from that group.
