I have some antique quilts with a triangle type edge (trim?) going all the way around the quilt. I'd love to try this technique, but I have no idea what it's called, so its hard to find a tutorial on it. Is it called something specific?I've enclosed a scan with the quilts. Looks like there are two different methods used- I have no idea what either one is called
Thanks for helping with another newbie question :-) |
It looks like the edge squares are faced with the backing turned over the edge. It does not appear to be prairie points.
|
The first one to me looks like it was incorporated into the design. The squares are double faced.
The second to me looks like prairie points. |
I think it was suppose to look like prairie points and they didn't knnow how to fold them, so just sewed triangles right sides together and turned.

and the red plaid looks like prairie points |
Try and find a tutorial on a wedding ring quilt..with the curved finished edge..looks like the same technique just different shape.
I am always fascinated by the older quilts and the designs and techniques they used. I have my grandma's templates that she cut out of cardboard and some she cut out of fine sandpaper. I think sometimes with all our advances and fancy stuff we make things way too complicated for ourselves. =) |
prairie points; there are half a dozen or so different ways prairie points are done, you have a couple great ones.
should be able to do a prairie point search for plenty of free tute's |
could/would you attach a picture of the other side of the first quilt edge?
|
Looks like the squares are cut, that some are cut in half that added to the whole squares. The triangles look like they are faced and turned and just sewed into the seam....
|
Are those pictures of the same quilt, or two different ones?
