I have been admiring the Mexican Star quilts and have the desire to make one for myself. I have been to three quilt shops this week and no one has the pattern. Can someone direct me to an online shop or give me the designer's name. Any help is greatly appreciated. Olivia

Olivia, I'm in the process of making one now! It is really fun and not near as complicated as it looks! I found my pattern online via Google search.

Enjoy!!

Here's my progress:

your quilt is beautiful. I especially love you colors and the batiks.....

Pretty quilt. Please post more pictures when you are done.

oh Kitsie, that is gorgeous! Love your colors.

Sorry Olivia, I meant to help, not hi-jack!! Thanks guys!

you shouldn't thinking of your quilt posting as hijacking, more like inspiration ;-)

Olivia, in the link I posted for the pattern, you can enlarge the image to see the designer's name and contact info.

Thanks Debra - here's a link from Google:

Other members have also done it.

Sooooo beautiful! I really must get an order out today. Thanks to everyone who helped. Quilting Board members are so very helpful.

That's what we're here for!

Wow Kitsie, your quilt is beautiful. Nice colors too. :thumbup:

:thumbup:

Thanks, Kitsie. :-D

Thanks for all the help. I have ordered the pattern and cannot wait for it to arrive so I can get started.

I love this pattern. I've got one that doesn't have the curves in it. I'm going to try the curved one now.

The curves are very easy Marion. Assemble the top first, then do them (I did by hand) so they can "fit" the corner easier.

I really like this one, too. Do you think it adapts easily to being enlarged to a king size?

It would be a square king! Unless you did 3 whole patterns across and maybe 4 down! As it is, it measures 34 1/2" square.

Yeah, I saw that. So, if I added maybe one more row around the center star pattern, and then squared it up to make it about 80" square, it would probably work. I've not seen this pattern and am not familiar with how it's made.

:-P Kitsie I do like EasyPeezy's avatar. I saw where she had Harvest Star. But...I was talking about yours. They both look like something I want to add to my list.(just don't ask me how long it is) It's almost like I am a kid in a candy store. BrendaK.

Great pattern!

I did one with the folded back curves. If this is the one you are going to do.....beware it is a bear to quilt with the folds.....ask me how I know this :mrgreen:

I did not know what a Mexican Star was until Kristie showed hers. Beautiful pattern beautiful work. Have fun with it Olivia! :mrgreen:

Kitsie, just had to comment on your fabrics and they are lucious!

Brenda that is exactly how I feel !! I have so many bookmarks to do. hee hee

Love this quilt pattern and I am betting that it will have some gorgeous quilting in those light areas. Please let us see it when it is finished. Jan

Believe I'm going to do it by hand. I like the way it is done in the photo with the pattern. So sorry for your trouble! Show us a picture of your? :D

I've never actually seen that pattern before... where have I been? LOL. It's so pretty. I may need to try that one.

This is a breath takingly beautiful quilt. Love, love your colors. Please show it to us when it's quilted

Gorgeous quilt Kitsie! thanks for sharing

Thanks so much for all the kudos! "pinot" is the lady that should be thanked! It was because of her pictures that I found and bought the pattern and finally did it! Top is now completed will get to quilting soon. Glad you like the colors, I really debated on the light blue, especially as it is a polyester and therefore thinner. Turned out well, though, because the fabric is double thick when folded into triangles.
