A tutorial on making continuous scrappy prairie points.
Cut 4 1/2" squares. Press first square in half to mark the halfway point. Open back up. Lay this one face down and add the second square WRONG SIDES TOGETHER on top of the first one starting at the halfway mark. Stitch just enough to get it tacked down. Butt the next square up to the first one and continue sewing. Keep adding squares until you have the desired length. Remember fabric on the bottom will be face down and the fabric on top will be face up.

Now for the folding.
Now fold from the top left to the bottom right to form a triangle. [ATTACH=CONFIG]141481[/ATTACH] The bottom ones are folded just the opposite: bottom right to top left. [ATTACH=CONFIG]141482[/ATTACH] Fold the top square from the top right to the bottom left just to the stitching line. I actually did these on the ironing board so I could press them as I folded each one. [ATTACH=CONFIG]141483[/ATTACH] Then fold bottom left to top right [ATTACH=CONFIG]141761[/ATTACH] Fold them all so they're facing the same direction. [ATTACH=CONFIG]142051[/ATTACH] Continue folding until all the prairie points are folded. [ATTACH=CONFIG]142758[/ATTACH] Open up the prairie point and wrap it around the one in front of it so they're nesting together.

Thanks so much for this tute. I have seen the continuous prairie points and wondered how you would do scrappy? You learn something on here everyday :thumbup: Thanks again.

I'm bookmarking this! thank you.:)

Thank you for sharing your tute. I've never tried prairie points, they seemed too hard. You make it "look" easy. Probably not as easy as you make it look! :D :D
|
It was extremely easy -- except for remembering to sew things wrong sides together. My mind just doesn't understand that concept too well.

hmmmm question came to mind - how 2 get prairie points on out side of quilt where binding goes so that they all point away from quilt and STAY that way w/o having to press them every time the quilt is washed???
|
Really good! Thanks!! Also, LOVE your fabrics! Are those for a quilt you're making? Would love to see the finished pic!

I might try this now. I always thought it was way too hard. But you made it look easy enough to be very do able.
Thanks for taking time to do this. Pamela |
I book marked this tut. Thanks. However... my quilts are to be used and washed. How do pps hold up under washing? I think they look great but have always been afraid to try them because I was afraid they would have to be ironed after every wash.
|
Thanks for the great tutorial
|
Brilliant! Thank you.
|
Thank you. I'm bookmarking this.
|
Thanks for the great tute. I love doing prairie points and have never tried it this way but will do so now. I bookmarked it so I can find it.

Thanks for this tute. I have been wanting to do this on a mystery quilt I've recently completed. Have to put the borders on first. Maybe a project for today since I'm snowed in.

Did you dream this up in your sleep? At first I thought, "What is she doing?" Then it all came out correctly.
Amazing! |
