I don't know if there some sort of a shortcut for doing this but when I want prairie points to match the colors or fabrics in my quilt top I just make individual points out of those same fabrics and put them in the order that I want them to repeat and sew them down. I did see at a sewing expo where a lady had created a template to use to make prairie points and in the demo she sewed 2 strips (different colors together) to make an alternating color prairie point. You could probably google prairie point template to find her system.

Good luck,
