    Here is my Mexican Star I did a while back. I used "invisable" thread for sewing down the "curves".

    Love the curved effect you'll have after stitching the white fabric back.
    Color choices are great!

    I made one of these!!! And actually finished it and have it hanging in my dining room! It's a fun technique, isn't it??? You did a great job! Post pics when you've got it completed.

    I'd love to see the pattern; if it's 'just' a 9 patch, it should be fairly do-able.
    Has anyone seen it online in one of the free pattern areas? You guys really did beautiful jobs on yours, in all color waves.

    I googled it but haven't been able to find it . . . .

    thanks

    Tisha, your quilt is stunning, you did a great job. I have never seen the Mexican Star before either. Looks hard to do.
