Chinese patchwork is a traditional form of Chinese needlework which has been widely circulated in Chinese folk arts. In China, patchwork has been used for millennia.

These pieces of donated fabric are then sewn into a quilt which embodies the good wishes, luck and energy of the quilt contributors.
