It is beautiful and very bright.
Just like she is ....
I didn't follow the proper order of collecting wishes from far and away.
Aly's wishes came from family and close friends.
Wishes for happiness, love, kisses, sunshine, joy, family, rainbows and sweet dreams are embroidered around little squares of color and ladybugs patches.
I love it ,,,,and as you can see , so does Miss Aly.
There is also a square that says PEACE and it is embroidered next to the word CHINA.
When I look at this square I can't help but think of Alyana's birth mother in China and although she will never know this amazing ,beautiful and active little girl, it is my deepest of hope that she has found peace with letting her go.
I hope Alyana's birth mother believes with all her heart that there is another mother in another part the world that holds her little one close , her Chinese beauty, and loves her with her every fibre of her being!
It is my hope ....and it is what gives me peace when I think of Alyana's first mother.

Gorgeous!!! I've been debating starting one myself, to keep me busy during the long long wait -- I'm now officially inspired!
Thanks,

That quilt is beautiful. If I could go out and buy it (or order it online) I would take out my wallet right now. Divine.
I'm sending this post to my mother, a huge quilter. What a wonderful catharsis and momento in one!
