All 3 quilts are made using the same pattern and you can see how very different they are. Started in 1963 shortly after we were married. Ugly quilt so stored it away to learn more. Took it out after our daughter's wedding and totally reconstructed it and completed it just before our 38th anniversary; hence the name. The pattern will be attached as a full sized download for those who want them. You assemble each block around a square - you are framing the square. When you sew the completed block together into two rows, you will see the stars forming using the corners of 4 squares.
