When I made these prairie points for the doggie quilt, there was a problem with the seam allowance when they were inserted into the border seam—this was not because there wasn't sufficient seam allowance (although there wasn't a whole lot); this was because the prairie points were so irregular at their base. I would recommend making them slightly bigger and then sewing a straight line that stabilizes them as far away from the base as necessary; then that line can be used as a seam line to attach them to the quilt top (or bottom) before the final seam is sewn—this will ensure that there aren't any raw edges that peek out of the final seam.
