This was the tute I used, but the measuring directions are WRONG!!
If you look at her example and measure it, her width is 2 times the size and NOT 4 times.
I followed her directions, had cut the fabric, only to find that it was wrong and had wasted fabric. WAS NOT happy about that. I had e-mailed her about it, but never heard back.

So, if you are wanting your prairie points to be 2 inches, cut the width at 4 inches, NOT 8 inches like she says.
If you are UNSURE...do a test piece on some fabric you don't like or some fabric that is useless to you....not sure if useless fabric exists........
