Thanks for sharing. Has gone into my saved list to try at some point in time. The prairie points really finish off a quilt nicely.

I want to do prairie points!! I will bookmark this for future reference! Thank for helping!! :P

Thanks! This tutorial looks easy.

That is great! Thanks for sharing!

What a great tute. Thanks

That is absolutely awesome! Boy, someone had their thinking cap on! :thumbup:

Hi! I love praire points and specially these because they're staggered. Gives a little detail instead just laying each offset of the other. Chris

Thanks!

WOW. I would never have dared try a prairie point border on my own but these look positively simple enough for me to do without being afraid I'll ruin them. Thank you so very much.

And if you want them to be two colours, cut 2 pieces of fabric at 3 1/4 and sew them on the long side and do the same cutting, making sure not to cut through the stitching line. Fold the same way as in the tute.

Oh great, thanks for the suggestion.

Nice tutorial....saved it...her site is fun also...lots of high energy I guess... thanks for mentioning it. memepeggy

Nice tutorial, but it doesn't addrress what to do about turning corners. The quilt shown looks like it is cut on a curve, no 90 degree corner to deal with.

gotta get me some fabric glue

That looks amazingly easy! Thanks

Thanks for sharing, it does look easy.

Thanks for the info. This is a great way to make sure all the points are even. (always my problem)

I have never done prairie points, but have wanted to. What an great tute!

Thank you so very much, I love using prairie points but do not like trying to line them up for attaching. I will definatly try this.

I always liked the look of prairie points , but looked like to much work. This is great I can do that !!

Thank you for sharing this. This is much easier than making them seperately.

Thanks so much for sharing - you make it look so easy. This is on my list! (and my bookmarks)

Thanks so very much for posting this. Seems like this was shown on Simply Quilts YEARS ago but who would remember the details? Not me, for sure!

Me and my ladies raid our local supermarket when they have these on offer: http://www.apluswhs.com/products/uhu...n-liquid-glue/ they are an absolute "must" in your quilting box.

thanks for posting this, i will definately try this method!

Wow...that makes it look really easy! Definitely have to try it. Thanks for the tip.

Great tutorial! Thank you for posting it.

Love this tute! I'm anxious to try it out. Thanks for posting.

Thank you so much - can't wait to try these.

Saved this one, have been wanting to do PP for years but it always looked so difficult. Is prairie point finishing traditionally used for particular patterns?

I'm all for making accuracy easy and this certainly fits the bill. I will be making metres of prairie points for the next few weeks! Many thanks for the post.

Thanks

Awesome tutorial - thank you for sharing

That's cute! I also have a plastic template that you use to cut them to make it quicker. I love prairie points! Thanks. :)

I like this - thanks.

Thank you so much, what a neat site :)

Great tutorial....thanks for sharing. I have always wanted to try this.

Thanks for sharing, I've saved this one for future reference.

I love the points only after I saw this method of making them several years ago, and have been hooked since. I might add, one extra addition. As you see, there is no seam allowance. Very little there to sew the points on. Of course, the amount of point you want sticking out is up to you, but I personally like a nice amount of point showing. What I did different from that tutorial is that I added an additional 1 inch to the 6 inches wide, making it 7 inches total. When you open after the pressing in half length wise, and are ready to cut, do not cut as deep. Cut a 1/2 inch less, meaning not so close to the center fold. You are actually cutting in 3 inches When you are done, you will have more of a seam allowance there to grasp onto when sewing it to your quilt.

I have also done half strips of one fabric and half strips of another and given a double looking border.

Just my 2 cents worth here, hoping I didn't mess anyone up now!
