    I also like the idea of the points. But..........Lisa I love your answer. BrendaK

    Haa!! Too funny!

    I don't see a problem with scallops on a boy's quilt.

    A scalloped edge feels a bit more refined to me. Prairie corners would be a good choice IMO!

    I have never put a scallops edges on a boys quilt. Never really gave it any thought. Friend told me once not to put any red Rick Rack on a boy's quilt because it was too girlie but I did anyways and came out like I had planned.

    Yes, prairie points would probably be a better choice.

    Scallops as wheels. That could be very doable. And would look great on a car or truck or heavy equipment quilt.

    You could also use jumbo ric rac. Sew it around the edge of quilt making sure it will peek out... then bind as usual. Adorable on baby quilts!

    Or instead of scallops you could make V points on the edges. Just point each scallop instead of rounding it.
