The block was popular; it fills the square well and hasn't any difficult shapes.
Ladies's Art Company's Mexican Rose
The common name today is Mexican Rose because that's what the Ladies' Art Company called it when they started selling a pattern in the 1890s, but the block is older.
Esther Matthews named her block the Star of the East in
her 1858 Shenandoah Sampler quilt.
Aunt Martha published it as Columbine in 1933
