Here's the scoop. The design as I have envisioned it so far features a center design made up of 11 "1904 Star" blocks. (The significance should be obvious.) That's a fairly difficult pattern so I'll make them myself unless I find out that any other AGDs are experienced quilters.
All the other stars will surround the center cluster.
PM me if you have any more questions.

The Alpha Gamma Delta Centennial Quilt Project
Attention, Alpha Gam quilters! You’re invited to contribute to Fraternity history by participating in the Centennial Quilt Project. The quilt will be presented at the Centennial Convention in Chicago, June 20-23, 2004.
The block: any star block of your choice. (
www.quilterscache.com has many examples; or check the quilting book section of your local library). The block should be 6-1/2” unfinished (6” finished).
The color scheme: red, buff, and green. (You didn’t expect a break with tradition for this occasion, did you?) Think soft tones, not neon-brights. Try to avoid solid colors; this quilt needs to have variety!
The fabric should be 100% cotton, prewashed. *Do NOT sign* your block! Instead, on a separate 4” square of fabric, write your name, chapter/club, and city using a Pigma-brand permanent pen. The signature squares will go on the back of the quilt.
Due dates:
June 30, 2003: inform the project coordinator of your intent to participate
September 30, 2003: send the completed block to the project coordinator
The details:
The quilt will be machine-pieced and machine-quilted.
Yes, you are welcome to:
• make more than one block
• help the project coordinator set the blocks (for people with some quilting or sewing experience)
• contribute to the cost of the fabric for the border and backing and for the quilting
Thank you for your interest!
