Amazingly Beautiful Quilt Squares!

I continue to be incredibly touched by the kindess and love in all of the quilt squares we are receiving. I am also amazed at how well people know my taste! I cannot express how much I love each and every square that arrives! They are perfect!

Bridget and Lucy sent us this amazing monogrammed square! I was so surprised when I opened this square. I had thought of doing this for someone else but it was too early (a name was not chosen). I had not told anyone so the fact that someone did this for us really surprised me. I should not be too surprised though because Bridget and I seem to have similar taste. This beautiful fabric is also in Lucy's room. Lucy is from the same province as Kate and I think they really resemble one another. They also dress a lot alike:)

This beautiful square is from Emma who came home around the same time as Kate!

Wendy and her family sent these squares (and the one from Emma). I love these patterns and would have chosen them myself. I got to know Wendy during our wait though an on-line adoption group. She is so sweet and seems like an amazing Mom. Her husband and son traveled to China just a few weeks before Dave and Will (in fact their trips overlapped).

This pretty floral is from my darling friend, Daleea. She has already sent some but I think this is for the shabby chic exchange!

This is from my very good friend in Houston, Leslie (who I miss a lot!). It did not photograph well but it is a beautiful embroidered white cotton. I love it!

Our friends, the Niehaus family gave us this beautiful square. I love this fabric and I am touched that they contributed to Kate's quilt.

This gorgeous fabric is from Paige at Simple Thoughts. I found Paige's blog a long time ago and I felt an instant connection to her. She is an inspiring and beautiful woman. I encourage you to click over to see what she has to say. She is also very creative and a wonderful photographer too.

This soft yellow fabric is from our good friends ~Karen and Doug. They just received a referral for their beautiful daughter from Guangdong, China! This fabric is in their daughter's room!

This beautiful parasol fabric is from the sweet and beautiful Lisa. I have come to know Lisa through the blogs and she is such an encouraging and kind soul. Thank you Lisa!

These pretty pink fabrics are from Dawn. I have also "met" Dawn through the blogs and she is waiting for her beautiful daughter, Lucy to come home. Dawn seems so kind and generous.

My creation

This last package came from Jennifer at the 5 Bickies. Jennifer also sent these adorable dresses that her daughter has outgrown. I love them. Thank you for your kindness!

I think we have 61 squares so far but we still need more! I know a lot of our close friends and family (~ahem) are still working on them! We look forward to seeing what you have chosen for Kate's quilt.
