This Shark Tooth Border is a single length of fabric that is cit to the seam allowance and each cut edge is folded down. The entire strip is then appliqued to the background fabric of the border. If you go back to page 1 of this tute, you will see the strip as it is turned into a shark tooth border.

Is sharks tooth the same as prairie points?I made them by folding squares into triangles and by over lapping them found there was less math involved I did them on the outer edge as well as to frame an inner block.It allowed me to create a color design and different sizes of triangles to make layers of them.

Did sort of a floating appliqued square. Next time I will pay closer attention to how its supposed to turn the corners. The next part of this quilt is 20 more vlocks ina single row around the center, then another Shark Tooth Border, this time facing toward the inside, a large border and then anothe Shark Tooth Border to finish it all off
