I've made this and it's very simple the folded square that you put on will be on the bias so turn them back and topstitch. I ironed mine all back. Good Luck it's well worth the time beautiful

I have done this. The edges roll back very easily to form the curve. I hand sewed mine back with a blind stitch as I liked the look better than machine sewing the curve plus I like hand work but you can do it either way based on your preference and time. It may sound confusing in the directions but is really very easy in the long run.

I made the Mexican Star - one of my first wall hangings. There is no trick to making the curve - just pin back and stitch.

I did the Mexican Stars about 5-6 years ago, before I started taking pictures of my work. It may be somewhere in my sewing room, but I make no promises. I'm attaching a picture of a quilt called Wandering Vines, or something like that, which I am working on. The curves in the leaves are made using the same technique. As I was turning the edges, I pressed them down, then placed two tiny drops of glue under the fabric that was folded over and pressed again to dry the glue. That way, I didn't have any pins to worry about. I am machine stitching all of my curves. Also, the way these rows were put together is the same technique Ricky Timms uses for his one seam flying geese.

I made one several years ago and it wasn't that difficult. Everyone has posted some very good pictures to demonstrate.
