Mexican Star Deconstructed

The next block for my sweet niece's wall hanging is called Mexican Star.
Step 1. I trace the pattern pieces from the pattern book onto some thin plastic.

Step 2. Trace the pattern pieces onto the fabric.


Step 3. Mark a 1/4" seam allowance using the quilting stick.

I then cut out all of the pieces. Here they are arranged in their final position. The angles are off because of the seam allowance. When I sew it together the corners will meet. I fussy cut Pooh so he would be right side up.
