Washed and dried and came out fine....except for one of the points that I apparently didn't get the full seam allowance on. One corner popped out but it will be a pretty quick fix, I think.

Thanks again for all your nice and helpful comments!

That's great! I thought they would be fine! The way you fold and then stitched should hold them ok!

They become softer but it doesn't deter from the beauty of the points.

I have made prairie points on baby qults...just not lately.
They were washed before I gave them away and they came out just fine. Never gave it a thought that they wouldn't.
The way you fold them...then sew, I can't see how they wouldn't come out looking good.

What a cute quilt...

Very nice!
...and thank you for a great "binding" idea for my "Cheddar Cheese" retro 30's quilt. I never would have thought of prairie points.

Great quilt and love the prairie points. Glad they washed all right.

I made a quilt for my daughter about 15 years ago with prairie points and they are still nice and pointy and have held up really well. It was a very high quality cotton fabric so this may have helped a little. I think your points will be just as perfect after washing your beautiful quilt. Beautiful work
