Just read your blog because I’m researching doing a “wishes” quilt for my nephew and his wife. I’ve just heard about this tradition and think it’s wonderful. As a long time quilter and quilt teacher, may I suggest to Fliss that you store your valuable quilt in something breathable, as an old pillow case, or wrap it up in a sheet. If it stays in storage, refold it every so often to eliminate a permanent crease.

Hey, I did see my wish… woo hoo… I am loving it… I am getting a vacuum seal bag for mine and will store it away… the lady who done it has leftover squares and is making a crib size one…

What a great idea!! I’m actually really surprised about this tradition. While it’s an AWESOME one…my MIL told me the other day that people in China “don’t quilt.” I suppose she said that, because SHE’S never seen a Chinese quilt…being from Canton and all, where it’s HOT. LOL It’s a lot cooler in northern China. ;-) She actually took me into a quilt shop once and asked me to try to explain how it’s done. It was difficult to explain in my limited Chinese. ;-)
