WOW What an idea! ! I will use this. Thanks.

Question?? When you attach to the quilt, it seems to me that you will have to take more than a 1/4" seam to be able to get the 'lower points' caught in the seam, right? Or am I missing something? I have not tried this, so maybe this is the reason I am not seeing the last step right.

i wondered how to do this! Thank yyou so much!

Thank you, I have always thought there should be an easier way and you have shown me there is.

Cool! Keeping this one!

This is a great idea. Thanks!

Thanks for sharing the tut!

Thank you!

Yes - thank you!

Thank you. I love edging a quilt with prarie points!

Do you attach the points after you've quilted?

Marie M.

great- I will save this one.

LeAnne, thank you very much for taking your time to do this wonderful tut. I'm looking forward to using it.

Many thanks. I have never attempted such things, but need to move from my comfort zone to add a bit of variety - will so scallops and prairie points this year.

Thank you - I have made prairie points and KNEW there had to be something easier than what I was doing ... I think there is a spendy tool out there but not in my budget. I am eager to give this a try.

How do you add them to the edge of your quilt and still
use the binding ??

Great idea. Very good tutorial. Thanks! :thumbup:

I wondered why you would do this thing called "prairie points"and looked up other threads with that subject...so now I know! I love this Board! I have learned so much. And you are so clever to have thought of this really neat method. Thanks so much for sharing.

I don't think you add a binding. You sew the points onto the front panel only and later turn under the batting and backing a quarter inch and blind stitch. If others have another way to do it, I'd be interested too. Also, I saw some samples where they didn't use the PP facing outward but facing inward instead, then put on the binding. Interesting effect.

Thankyou. Have bookmarked this one for future refernce.

Great Job, Saved it to my patterns and reduced it down to 3 pages from 11 pages.

Thanks so much for sharing this tute...I've bookmarked it and planning my next quilt with prairie points.

Could you please tell me what kind of thread you use to sew these to the quilt. With all those layers of fabric, do you use cotton or cotton wrapped poly or what.

I love the technique, you did a wonderful job of showing how it was done. Thank you.

thanks!

Great tute. Thanks.

Thank You! Love your fabric too.

That is way cool! Wonderful tute. Thank you so much!

Great tutorial, it will come in handy as I am making pillow cases with prairie points on them. Thanks.

You will use about an inch seam allowance. This still leaves plenty of point left. Sew them onto your quilt and then trim the extra seam allowance.

Thanks for the reply - I was noticing quite a bit also but figured it was for the convenience of having something to work with and hold onto while slip stitiching the backing fabric over the raw quilt edges!

Thanks for answering my question about the seam allowance. That was what I figured, just didn't know how much of a seam allowance to use. Will have to try these. Thanks for the tute.

Very cool - what an awesome (and efficient) way to do them :)

Thank you so much gwanma for answering my question, this makes since now.

Thanks, never tried anything with prairie points before, but you have made the impossible seem easy. Great tutorial!

Oh man this is way to cool. I have done scrappy before but I never sewed them together first. That is really a great idea! Thanks for sharing this! I love the way it spaces them perfectly! :shock:

Thank you so much for showing how to do this!
Just another reason why I love this board - so many generous people taking the time to educate us by example
(which is the easiest way for me to learn....)

Thank you so much for sharing. This is a fabulous way to make the prairie points.

Great tutorial! Bookmarked for sure! Thank you.

Thank you so much for the tutorial . It is the best I have seen for this pattern.
