1. EQG Raffle Quilt History
From the very first EQG meeting up to today, there are many people,
events, stories, quilts, wall hangings, and apparel that have created the history of the guild. EQG would like to present the raffle quilt history of the guild starting in Sit back and enjoy the show.
One hint, each quilt has a bear paw block in it. Can you find it? Our logo was designed using bear paw blocks. The three secondary schools in Edmond each have an animal mascot and all use the bear paw as a symbol. The three school colors are the hunter green, dark blue, and maroon. Each succeeding raffle quilt has used the bear paw block in some fashion, though it is not required to do so.
