help with prairie points
Does anyone know tricks to making prairie points. Like joining, attaching to quilt , binding. I know the general principle but am looking for an easier way. Or something that will looks the same but not so much work. I have no more background fabric or I was thinking HST. not sure piano key will look ok! Thanks!!!!!!

Here are two ways to do them. I've not made them myself and am not sure what the traditional way is. Donna Jordan has a tutorial that looks doable. She uses charm packs, but 5" squares would work as well. I didn't watch the whole video this time, but I think she shows how to bind them as well.

This looks doable, too.

I have done this method and liked it very well. It takes some effort to keep the sequence of actions in order, but you catch on soon. I have also done this with two fabrics by sewing two strips (half as wide plus seam allowances) together. I liked that, too.

update- I decided not to make prairie points-looks hard and may not have enough fabric since I am using scraps. I decided to do "piano key" (Whose idea was that). Good thing I like the process and not speed. These are taking be forever since they are 1' wide. and top is about 65/85" What was I thinking!!!!!!! Have fun!!!!!!!
