    Default Baby Quilt with Prairie Points

    I thought I posted this yesterday, but can't find it.

    I am going to make a baby quilt for my new great-granddaughter who will arrive in June.

    I would like to put prairie points around it. I will quilt it on my Tin Lizzie. Do I put them on before I quilt or after, and do I have to stop quilting a certain distance from the edge.

    Thanks for your help.

    I did mine after it was quilted and added it into the binding.

    Someone told me she didn't use a binding, folded backing edge under 1/4" and handstitched. Don't know if I have to stop and not quilt at the edge and how much.

    There's a few tips on some of these sites, hopefully you'll get the info you need. https://www.google.ca/search?q=how+t..._pF6yV8QediYFQ

    I had mine quilted all the way to the edge, then added Prairie Points and binding.

    Could add them first and then use a pillowcase style to use for the backing.
