This is one of my favorite quilts. It was started the first year we were married, a few years later when the quilting process was a disaster I stored it away in the cedar chest until our daughter was married and I needed the cedar chest to store her wedding gown so I pulled out, tore it apart and totally reconstructed it and completed it just before our 38th wedding anniversary - hence the name of the quilt. The pattern is attached for download. It's amazingly easy to do. the squares of the quilt are hand embroidered flowers but I think this would make a perfect photo album quilt. It's amazingly quick and easy to do and this is the 1st of 3 quilts I've done using this pattern. Thank you for liking it. It is one of 6 that I have kept. All of my other quilts have been given away as soon as they were completed but I do love this pattern. I saw this frame (see pattern 1) and thought this would be a perfect way to frame my flowered squares. I did NOT comprehend the stars until I started sewing the squares together and oh my, what a surprise. It was in a magazine wayyyyyy back. The quilt was started in 1964 and I think I tried quilting it a couple of years later but didn't find this pattern until our daughter got married and she's been married 18 years so that was a long time ago.
