She had started in the middle sewing down the center of the triangle piece, than placed the next triangle half on top of the first one and so on. When it was time to do the second row, the triangle points was pushed upright with the next triangle tight against the sewing line. The pairie points push upright kind of look like little sails and it made a nice, soft but durable mat. It was very heavy but the person said she just throws it in the washing machine and then into the dryer when it gets dirty. I don't know if you can get the idea from my description but good luck.

welcome from Oklahoma....the directions above are correct...the Mennonite ladies make them here all the time!
