Mexican Star
Sample Quilt Layouts
You can make many variations in your personal quilt design using the Mexican Star quilt block as shown below in the two sample quilt layouts.
Simply by adding sashing strips to separate these five patch blocks and placing them on point, additional opportunites arise for extra colour spashes in the form of setting triangles, as illustrated in the quilt layout on the right. Or perhaps you might see what secondary patterns you can create by placing blocks side by side as in the quilt layout on the left. Imagination is the only requirement.
