Has anyone used the Quick Points Ruler to make prairie points??? Watched a video, looked soooo easy, pricey but was wondering if it was worth the money???? Any input out there?? :) Thanks

Unless you just want the ruler, you don't really need it. I have I made continuous prairie points without a special ruler. It was very easy.

Thanks for sharing the toot - I want to make these and have bookmarked. Anyone aware of a toot that deals with using different fabrics?

I guess sewing different blocks of fabric into a strip would work to give you a variety of points.

Use the search tab at the top of the screen . search "prairie points". you will get some info about them from other discussions. Elaine

http://patchworkunderground.com/blog...oints-tutorial If you look at her example and measure it, her width is 2 times the size and NOT 4 times. I followed her directions, had cut the fabric, only to find that it was wrong and had wasted fabric. WAS NOT happy about that. I had e-mailed her about it, but never heard back. So, if you are wanting your prairie points to be 2 inches, cut the width at 4 inches, NOT 8 inches like she says. If you are UNSURE...do a test piece on some fabric you don't like or some fabric that is useless to you....not sure if useless fabric exists........ |

yes the seam sits in the fold and then you make the typical cuts and fold.
