These are only 50 selected words from an amazing quilt entitled "100 Wishes" by Jean Conwell of Middletown, RI. In the Quilt Show catalogue she states,

 

"I first made this design as a crib quilt for my granddaughter Eden. I liked it so much that I made it for myself in a queen size. I used my vintage buttons as spacers between the wishes. When I wrote out a list of wishes for the back name plate I was shocked to find I only had 99 wishes!"
