so each strip was 34.5 and fits with ease on the quilt just like a border would.

if you're working on a quilt that is over 40 inches you would sew strips together to achieve the length of your quilt and then you would make the alternating cuts into the fabric for the folds.

you might end up with a seam in a point but you can always sew the strip on so that the seam is to the back instead of the front.

its really just like putting on a border fabric - it was really easy, you should give it a try.
Thank you for the information. It should help all of us understand how to be successful at this technique. Would you put prairie points onto a quilt that will be surviving institutional treatment, do you think?
